Title
Newspaper Clipping - Six Million Pieces of Glass in Them - Stained Glass of St. Ita's
Description
This image is of a newspaper clipping speaking about how the stained glass at St. Ita's church contains six million individual stained glass pieces and how they glitter and produce a jewel-like effect when the sun shines on them. The newspaper also says they are called the finest in the country and it also speaks on how the main attention-grabbing image is of the crucifixion while also talking about the other stained glass that is a part of the church. There are many different depictions in the stained glass with some of the main figures being Christ, Mary, and a variety of the apostles. There are also depictions in the medallion windows that show different events in the books of the Bible.
