keys are also quite canonized . Just as with the symbols to be " directional keys ." At first, we Zara seems to be sorted : Keys to power ( in St. Peter ) , two keys , groove " to the sky ." All this is described in the essay " Blago_darya " posted in my diary .
And yesterday , walking around St. Isaac's Cathedral , drew attention to the gates of bronze reliefs ( Pochtamtskaya side of the street) . Two figures of saints. One in the hands of two key grooves down ( to the ground) , the other - a sword. Symbolism .
Why is the " grooves down "?

Another era altogether . Perhaps the situation is not given much sense. It is already possible not to engage in speculative reconstruction, probably there are experts who know the history of the construction of Isaka , has been the bureaucratic apparatus , documentation , archives , maybe it's something completely known .

Why beards keys up or down, it's likely the forum heraldry .
They are there just say that and why izobrazhetsya only way and not inache.Geraldika - science major .

What does " canonized "?

Canon - a set of rules and regulations. There is a " Book of Rules " , if you want to spend your time , please ))): http://www.pravoslavie.ws/Html/Pr/pr.htm

eye in the triangle fully canonized :

Of course not. Image penetrated the Catholic iconography and is uncanonical . In Russian iconography appears from the late 18th century. Yes no need to jealously watch out for the eyes, and it was in Egypt as the eye of Horus, in Hinduism - the third eye in yoga , etc. Here's another eye of Hinduism - Vesica Piscis ( fish eye) , often found in Christian icons . http://ru.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vesica_piscis A lot of that is borrowed , do not be surprised .

Kanon - a set of rules and regulations.

What does the word I know, but we are , I suppose, is a church canon, and this is the establishment of the Apostles, the Fathers of the Church and the ecumenical councils of the church rules and the church structure .
Do you think somewhere apostles and Fathers of the Church have stipulated the use of triangles and other geometric shapes, and wrote it down in postonovleniyah cathedrals ? <! - ~ 1 ~ ->

Do you think that somewhere in the Apostles and the Fathers of the Church have stipulated the use of triangles and other geometric figures, and wrote it down in postonovleniyah cathedrals?

Of course not. I wrote about this, there is no geometrical figures in the canons, and if something like this is, for example the reverse perspective, it is broken. And the rules (canons) and many have written to the resolution of the Council and is very important for the formation of Orthodox iconography.
For example:

As the life-giving cross has given us salvation: that we ought to use all diligence, so be vozdavaema all honor the fact that we are saved through the ancient fall. Wherefore he thought, word and worship him bringing a sense, have ordered: the image of the cross, some nachertyvaemye on earth quite izglazhdat, that the sign of the victory of our oskarblyaemo defiance was not walking. And so now nachertyvayuschih image of a cross on the ground ordain excommunicate.

In some honest icons portrayed finger Predtechevym pokazuemy lamb, which has been adopted in the way of grace, by the law of pokazuya us the true Lamb, Christ our God. Honoring the ancient images and the shadow of the devotees of the Church as a sign of truth and destiny, we prefer the grace and truth, accepting as the judges as the fulfillment of the law. Wherefore, in order to depictions of Art and disgusted all conceived was perfect, now ordain image of a lamb, vzemlyuschogo sins of the world, Christ our God, the icons represent for human nature, instead of the old lamb so that through contemplating the humility of God the Word, leads to the remembrance of the lives His flesh, His suffering, death and salvation, and sim way to accomplish redemption of the world.

 

The eyes behold thy right yes, yes, and in all storage observe your spirit (Prov. 4:23-25), bequeaths wisdom: for the bodily senses comfortably make the impressions in the mind. Therefore, the image on the boards or on any other than represented, charmed sight, corrupting the mind and producing ignitions unclean pleasures, do not allow now, whatever it means to write. But if anyone dares to do these things, let him be excommunicated.

So that the triangles and the eyes - it's not Orthodox, it's the other traditions of other nations.
The artist Isaac Oliver (1556-1617), a portrait of Elizabeth I, clothes glazik, symbolizes that she is watching over all.

Christianity , that is, the eastern orthodox Christianity relative to the people of Russia - this is the " traditions of other nations ", 1000 years ago, forcibly imposed on the people of Russia " fire and sword ".

Yes it all.
The Crusades, the Inquisition, the blood was enough.

Abrahamic religions

"I do know one thing : the way a person offered by Protestants , Catholics , pagans , etc. - the way the charms and perdition"

" - What does the Orthodox Church to the Protestant missionaries who come to preach the Gospel in Russia ? And if I , as an Orthodox , a meeting of the missionary's how I treat him ?

- If you towards the house of the thief comes , how will you treat him ? "
