Suncatcher meaning
One of the most famous art objects in America and Europe is a glass suncatcher.
Colorful glasses and beads of different sizes “catch” the rays of the sun, refract them, and reflect in the form of sun twinkle from the surfaces. Even with artificial lighting, the suncatcher looks beautiful – the rays of light dance and shimmer, decorating your interior, and this play of light can be admired endlessly.
Initially, the suncatcher was created to protect the house from otherworldly forces and evil. The warm, bright rays coming from the suncatcher fell on the dwelling’s doors and windows, and people believed that no harm would ever come to such a bright house.
And they were also used by Scandinavian navigators to search for the sun in the sky on a cloudy day. The small glass blocks collected the sunlight, even if the sun was behind the clouds.
In the modern world, the purpose of the suncatcher has greatly expanded.
It can be just a successful object that directly asks for your interior and carries a purely decorative function that suits you in shape and color.
And it can carry an informational message through symbolism. And some also have a sacred function.
I’ll try to explain.

Also, the flower theme in suncatcher is prevalent.
The flowers themselves are beautiful and embodied in the stained glass and hung on the window cause a wow effect.
How do suncatchers work
For the suncatcher to work, it needs sunlight. The sun, passing through the colored glass of the stained glass window, fills it with life, creating a whimsical play of light.
Most often, the Suncatcher is hung on the window, it is believed that it does not allow negative energy to penetrate through the windows. And if you place it in a garden or gazebo, it will attract good weather. The main thing is that sunlight passes through it. By refracting the light and casting the rays of the sun around it, it brings beauty and a positive mood to your home, filling your heart with joy.
