haloed
Crowned with light
Haloed describes something encircled by or depicted with a halo—the ring of light shown around the heads of holy figures in religious art: a haloed saint in the cathedral fresco.
More broadly, it suggests being bathed in soft, glowing light: The haloed moon hung low over the water.
Figuratively, haloed can imply an aura of sanctity or special status: the haloed memory of her late husband.
