Holy was literally the level 50 Job quest spell, the culmination of WHM magic from the tradition of Amdapoor (The city that created White Magic and white mages. In game it is dungeon filled with light aligned creatures that look like angels, by the way, like the ones we fight in ShB). It has been a staple of the WHM job since the very first Final Fantasy. The healer level 3 LB, Pulse of Life, has the WHM kneel and PRAY in front of a staff ( Aerith's staff, presumeably FF7 reference ), while angelic feathers burst forth under golden light.

Let's stop pretending the whole, holy light/cleric/priest aesthetic wasn't a part of WHM's concept.

I know I said I will stop but I saw this while scrolling so might as well.

"Prior to patch 3.0, healer limit breaks were also used by physical ranged DPS disciplines, and Pulse of Life was used by all healer and physical ranged DPS disciplines as their level 3 limit break. Prior to patch 6.0, the healing radius was 30 yalms."

Is Bard an angelic job? It was its LB3 too. After they gave all jobs a unique LB, PLD got the generic tank one, BLM got the generic caster one, MNK got the generic melee one, and WHM was given Aerith's (generic healer, and bard). LB1 and LB2 still use hers as generics for all healers.

And Amdapori mages are as much of our WHM as Void Mages of Mhach are our BLMs. Their "angels" which look like sin eaters are basically stone constructs powered by their magic. Unlike Seraph which is an actual angelic entity. And their power you're talking about is what caused the elementals to flood the world. Our WHM in comparison, uses the nature's aether to summon various elements, one of which is light, hence, holy being one of the many elements.

When you go to the first, there's a lot of light ambient aether, so WHM's spells which used stone, water, and wind, became light because it is what is naturally existing in there.
