@PauletteRoberts @irene_dickson @WeirdMedieval Dodecahedrons aren’t very useful for making socks

[weighted book snake @slonkhillman]

@PauletteRoberts @irene_dickson @WeirdMedieval Not to mention that no nalbound or knitted gloves have been found from these periods, and it would not explain the different sized holes in the dodecahedrons, or the lack of wear patterns that regular use would have left on the knobs, which are not seen.

@PauletteRoberts @irene_dickson @WeirdMedieval That’s true, but modern knitting techniques using similar tools to the Roman dodecahedron did not exist. The dodecahedrons are only found in Europe, and the earliest nalbinding such as this sock was practiced in Egypt. In any case, that sock is younger than the dodecahedrons.

@irene_dickson @WeirdMedieval Just because it can be used for something doesn’t mean it was. Knitting had not been invented yet when these were common 😚

Jesus Ministered to by Angels by James Tissot, 1886-1894. Gouache on paper. Collection: Brooklyn Museum, New York.

This painting by James Tissot portrays a significant moment from the New Testament, where Jesus, following his agony in the Garden of Gethsemane, is comforted by angels.

The scene is characterized by the striking contrast between the ethereal figures of the angels, bathed in soft, otherworldly light, and the serene yet sorrowful figure of Christ lying in peaceful submission. The angels, shown in dark shades with glowing white flames above their heads, reach towards Jesus in a silent act of ministering, representing divine intervention during his time of suffering.
