Stunning footage has captured the moment treated to the incredible sight of a rare ring of light surrounding the sun.
The atmospheric effect enveloped the low winter sun with a corona, known as a 22 degree halo.
They form as sunlight is refracted in millions of hexagonal ice crystals suspended in the sky.
The breathtaking clip was captured by a skier at the Vemdalen resort in central Sweden.
Ludvig Lundin shared the footage to Facebook, where over five million visitors to the site viewed the eye-catching distortion.
Some even compared the phenomenon to the appearance of an angel.
Among them was David D. Sterling, who said: ‘That looks like an image you would imagine seeing before angels begin forming or first light up in the sky of Jordan on Christmas.’
Megan Tenaya Birchell added: ‘These are the kind of things that helps you understand people believing in angels.
