In the Judeo-Christian religious tradition, Glory (from the Latin gloria, "fame, renown") is used to denote the manifestation of God's presence. For example, see Exodus 24:16. It is also used simply to express God's majesty and honor, or God's miraculous power.

In religious painting, glory is an effusion of light around a saintly personage; see also halo.
