Ask anyone; What does an Angel have above his head? A HALO!
That’s the answer you will get.
But where does that come from?
Traditionally, the halo represents a radiant light around or above the head of a divine or sacred person. The Halo is seen in many paintings of Biblical figures. Since halos are found nowhere in the Bible, what is their origin in Christianity?
Three places in Scripture maybe it looked like a Halo:,
Daniels vision
Daniel 7:9 I beheld till the thrones were cast down, and the Ancient of days did sit, whose garment was white as snow, and the hair of his head like the pure wool: his throne was like the fiery flame, and his wheels as burning fire.
Transfiguration of the Lord Jesus.
Matthew 17:2 And was transfigured before them: and his face did shine as the sun, and his raiment was white as the light.
John’s vision of the Lord.
Revelation 1:14 His head and his hairs were white like wool, as white as snow; and his eyes were as a flame of fire;
With it not being found in the Bible, the halo is both pagan and non-Christian in its origin. Many centuries before Christ, natives decorated their heads with a crown of feathers to represent their relationship with the sun god.
