  • IPA(key): /mænˈdɔː(ɹ)lə/

Noun

[edit]

mandorla (plural mandorlas)

  1. A vesica piscis-shaped aureola that surrounds the figures of Christ and the Virgin Mary, or represents God the Father (who is not traditionally depicted) in traditional Eastern Christian art.
    • 2005, Andreas Andreopoulos, Metamorphosis: The Transfiguration in Byzantine Theology and Iconography:
      In addition, the mandorla may be considered on a more primal level as an archetypically ritual shape that transcends conscious and intentional symbolism, thus falling under the category of the mandala.
