Omniscience

The Eye imagery represents the essential quality of the human soul and the importance of purity and beauty. God's omniscience often is portrayed through the symbol of the eye. He foresees all. The eye is the gate to the Soul and Spirit, the organ of spiritual perception. The Old Testament prophet Ezekiel described God's glory and His throne upon wheels within wheels full of eyes (Ezekiel 1:18,10:12), as implied in this piece. The eyes here also represent the Divine fire coming on Easter at the Church of the Holy Sepulchre in Jerusalem, which illuminates but doesn't burn.
