Eye of Providence

The Eye of Providence is a symbol that people use to represent God watching over us. It's a symbol that looks like an eye inside a triangle. The triangle is like a shape that has three sides, and it makes the eye look important and powerful.

Sometimes people draw the Eye of Providence on money, buildings, and other important objects because they believe that God is protecting them. They believe that God is always watching what people do, and the Eye of Providence is like a reminder of that.

It's kind of like if you had a teddy bear that you always hugged when you were scared or sad. The Eye of Providence is like a teddy bear for grown-ups that reminds them that they have someone watching over them and keeping them safe.
