"… the icosahedron and dodecahedron have the same properties
of symmetry. For the centres of the twenty faces of an icosahedron
may be joined to form a regular dodecahedron, and conversely, the
twelve vertices of an icosahedron can be placed at the centres
of the faces of a suitable dodecahedron. Thus the icosahedral and
dodecahedral groups are identical , and either solid may be used to
examine the nature of the group elements."

"The Sacrament of the Last Supper" —
"The setting is distinctive: a dodecahedron,
or 12-sided space, that we perceive in the
pentagon-shaped windowpanes behind the

The dodecahedron is an ancient symbol of
heaven, where this event is taking place.
This is the realm of the Father…."
