*The all seeing eye of Providence, surrounded by the rays of glory, often represents the eye of God watching over humankind... thus the words “may it watch over you” written above the all seeing eye.
The first official use of the all seeing eye dates back to 1797 when the Masons adopted the symbol as a seal. "And although our thoughts, words and actions, may be hidden from the eyes of man, yet that All-Seeing Eye, whom the Sun, Moon and Stars obey, and under whose watchful care even comets perform their stupendous revolutions, pervades the inmost recesses of the human heart, and will reward us according to our merits." ~ Thomas Smith Webb. The all seeing eye of God is a reminder that a Mason’s thoughts and deeds are always observed by God.
The fraternal order of police use an all seeing eye in their logo but all are not masons. They state "The open eye is the eye of vigilance ever looking for danger and protecting all those under its care while they sleep or while awake.
