The halo is not a Christian construct as in early depictions, Jesus Christ had a wand to perform miracles. The halo was put forth because as Christian artwork grew in its characters depicted, Christ needed to appear more divine and stand out which is why he was provided a halo. Paegan’s borrowed the halo from Apollo, and the Christians borrowed the halo from the Paegan’s. The halo started off as lines coming from the head much like the look of the Statue of Liberty during the modern day. The spikes of the halo were designed to represent Christ’s solar divinity
