pRosAIc ORIGIN OF THE HALO.
Said to Have Been Placed Over Stat
ues of Saints to Preserve Them.

The origin of the halo dates back
to the eleventh and twelfth centuries.
Those years were rich in the building
of churches and cathedrals. There
were erected around the outside of
the sacred edifices statues OF the
saints, placed under the caves. In
time the caretakers Of the buildings
perceived that the discoloration from
the rains falling from the roofs dis
figured the images. Accordingly they
placed over the tops Of them fiat wood
en- disks of sufficient size to protect
the statues. Giotto began to paint
pictures when a boy, and his igno-
rance assumed the protecting disks as
an essential part of the saint. His
earliest pictures represent each sacred
figure topped off with what looks much
like the bottom of barrel. He ideal
lied this into circle, dark at first,
but growing more luminous with each
successful production of his artistic
fancy, until he developed the circle
of light that has come down un-
changed through generations Of paint
ers as a badge of sanctity.
