What if all those paintings of babby Jesus are true and because hes the son of god his head glows?

Then he would have been very useful in a powercut.What if all those paintings of babby Jesus are true and because hes the son of god his head glows?
These depictions started in the Middle Ages and applied to all Saints. The aureole you see around their heads are a way to depict that a person possesses the Holy Spirit. They're not meant to represent visual reality, they're a symbol of something that can not be seen to the eye. It's kind of the classical painting equivalent of a cartoonist's question mark above somebody's head, or other such symbol of their inner mental states.What if all those paintings of babby Jesus are true and because hes the son of god his head glows?
I think your question is cute - You're talking about Halos, that floating shining ring above Jesus' head.





No, it's a symbolic and pictographic representation of holiness. Simply put, it's just a representation drawn to depict spiritual elevation - like purity, holiness and the nature of the all-powerful.





But some people who've met Dalai Lama and Pope John Paul II have claimed that they sense an other-worldly presence - larger than life - kind of aura with these Holy people.
The halo, like so many other things in Christianity, was taken from the pagans. There is an ancient Roman book that depicts Zeus with a halo. It was a standard artistic device to show divinity.
Cos' the babby wabby was notty real.
It is all GODS HOLY GLOWING TRUTH.
Absolutely... how else can you tell that the baby is God?
nope - not at all what the Bible says...
