divine light
Sacred celestial illumination
Divine light is radiance attributed to God or the sacred—the glow emanating from holy figures in religious art, or the illumination believers experience in spiritual revelation.
The concept spans traditions: Christians speak of Christ as the light of the world; mystics describe encountering divine light in prayer or near-death experiences.
Figuratively, divine light suggests moral clarity or guidance from above: She felt divine light showing her the path forward.
