haha, no, but the early christians did it to make the religious conversion easier on the people who worhiped the pagan gods. in early christian art, halos were depicted as ound, golden disks, borrowed from early egyptian art of Ra, the sun god
theres really very few original images in christian iconology, its all borrowed from earlier stuff
