aureolas
Circles of light
Aureolas is the plural of aureola, a radiant light or halo surrounding a figure in religious art, especially around the head or body of a saint or deity.
The term extends to any luminous ring or corona: The aureolas around the streetlights glowed in the fog.
In anatomy, aureola is a variant spelling of areola—the pigmented ring around a nipple.
