In the religious art of Ancient Rome, Ancient Greece, Hinduism, Christianity, Islam and Buddhism. Among various religions, the people who are considered sacred are depicted with a halo in the form of a circular ring of light or the flames as in Asian art, surrounding them around the head or the whole body.
