A:

The halo was originally the sun disc, shown as a symbol of the sun god Apollo. Alexander the great and his successors took this image with him all the way across the Near East to India, where it was adopted by Buddhism. The same image was also adopted by Christianity, and is commonly depicted around the heads of Jesus and the saints.
