Angel of St. Isaac's Cathedral.
Triangle.
Pay attention, on the Square the arrow is depicted in the form of a compass. This is the sign of the builders, masons-masons, in this case the White Rosicrucians, who participated in the design and construction of the Castle. They were engaged in landscape design, just as in antiquity.
If you think that Masonic symbolism has taken root in Russia with the arrival of Napoleon, you are deeply mistaken. Here is the banner of the Preobrazhensky infantry regiment of 1700, approved by Peter I, after returning from Europe.
The same pyramid, the same eye, everything is in place, nothing has changed.
But this is how the banner became under Elizaveta Petrovna.
December 31, 1741 By the decree of Empress Elizabeth Petrovna, a Life Campaign with a special uniform and banner was established in Russia.
The Life Campaign Standard.
The Life Campaign (from German Leib - body; a word attached to others to denote belonging to the Person of the Sovereign or the Imperial Court, and the French compagnie company) is a grenadier company (364 people) of the Life Guard of the Preobrazhensky Regiment, with the assistance of which on November 25 In 1741, a palace coup was carried out in Russia and Empress Elizabeth Petrovna was enthroned. Again a change of power, again a coup. During the entire reign of Empress Elizabeth, enjoying exceptional favors and attention, the Campanians were distinguished, however, by extreme licentiousness and an almost complete lack of discipline. On March 21, 1762, Emperor Peter III dismissed the Leib campaign; however, Empress Catherine II in June 1762 ordered the grenadier company of the Preobrazhensky Life Guards Regiment to be called the Life Campaign and assumed the rank of captain of this company,but it was already an ordinary guards company.
I bring to your attention a few more commemorative medals.
All of them are united by the omnipresent eye (all-seeing eye).
