heavenly glow

Celestial light emanation

A heavenly glow is a soft, radiant light suggesting divine or celestial origin—the kind imagined surrounding angels or streaming through clouds at sunset.

The phrase describes illumination that seems otherworldly or transcendent: Her face had a heavenly glow in the candlelight.

It extends to any warm, luminous quality that evokes peace or beauty: The city had a heavenly glow at dusk.
