HaloAroundTheSun_A661847
I attended a local event this weekend. there was music playing over a public address system. The music was interrupted at one point for an announcement " Don't look up, but the sun is surrounded by a beautiful rainbow right now." I didn't look up but I turned my camera up and composed this dreamlike image via the tilt screen.
In many religions from all over the world a halo about the head of the deity is used to symbolize a divine radiance. The roman god sol was always depicted with a halo. This practice was continued in christian iconography from about the fourth century on.
Here is some scholarship Encyclopaedia Britannica
