What do the pictures on stained glass windows represent? - stained glass nightlights
I'm doing a project on windows and I need to know all the symbolism in the pictures. I know that two keys is the key to the gate of heaven to Peter, but there are others, like an ox, the strange hat, the pope, and much more. I would now like to symbolize these images k and answers will be greatly appreciated.
