Eye of Providence
The Eye of Providence or All-Seeing Eye is a symbol depicting an eye, often enclosed in a triangle and surrounded by rays of light or a halo, intended to represent divine providence watching over humankind. Historically, it was first depicted during the Renaissance period in Europe. A well-known modern example of the Eye of Providence appears on the reverse of the Great Seal of the United States, eventually integrated on the United States one-dollar bill (in 1935). It also featured prominently atop the original publication of France's Declaration of the Rights of Man and of the Citizen (1789). The Eye of Providence also figures prominently in the symbolism of Caodism, which is a syncretic religion established in Vietnam in 1926.
