The word "Glory comes from the Latin word- "Gloria" which means "fame, renown") is used to denote the manifestation of God's presence in the Judeo-Christian religious tradition. In Hebrew it would probably be the word Hod (הוד).

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, glory for all.

The root meaning of glory in the Hebrew is "weight" or "heaviness."
