sacred light
Holy illumination source
Sacred light is light imbued with religious or spiritual significance—the glow through stained glass, the candles on an altar, the radiance surrounding divine figures in religious art.
The phrase evokes illumination that transcends the physical, suggesting divine presence or blessing: The sacred light of dawn filled the chapel.
In metaphorical use, sacred light can represent truth, enlightenment, or hope: She carried the sacred light of her faith through dark times.
