divine radiance
Sacred luminous emanation
Divine radiance is a glow or brilliance associated with gods, holiness, or the sacred.
Religious art depicts saints and deities surrounded by divine radiance—halos, aureoles, shafts of light.
The phrase extends to anything suggesting transcendent beauty or spiritual presence: Her face seemed lit by divine radiance.
It implies light that originates from a higher source rather than ordinary illumination.
