Chapel of Sts. Benedict, Boniface and Ladislaus (Royal): the eye of providence

The Royal Chapel altar is topped by the Eye of Divine Providence surrounded by golden rays. The placement of this ornament on the background of the chapel’s window allows the sun’s rays to penetrate through it, completing its composition. The symbol of the eye of providence comes from Egyptian mythology, where it personified omniscience and was associated with sun worship. In Christianity, the eye of providence is inscribed in an isosceles triangle, symbolizing the Holy Trinity.
