'A lost art:' Stained glass windows of Bay City's Trinity Episcopal Church get a facelift

From Michigan-

Faded, darkened and broken glass obscured the beautiful stained glass windows in the nave of Trinity Episcopal Church, 815 N. Grant in Bay City.

Over the past month, two artists have been giving the windows a facelift.

Robert Lovas Sr. and his son, Frank Lovas, with Lovas Family Studio of Stained Glass from Cochrane, Wis., removed, repaired and replaced 23 window panels in the church.

"We couldn't see the faces before," said the Rev. Ann Grady.

"There's light in the nave again."

Some of the panels were so broken that figures were distorted.

The nave of the church is lined with multi-panel windows of realistic art. Some of the panels are 126 years old, their color faded and darkened over the years.
