What the Fathers say

Zechariah 3:9

Western Saints

Bonaventure

These are the "seven eyes" of the Lamb, and the "seven facets" of the stone mentioned by Zachary, and the seven days that followed upon the first light. These Centers are the "seven golden lamp-stands," and Christ "in the midst of the seven lamp-stands," which are the seven illuminations of wisdom, that is, the metaphysical, the natural, the mathematical, the logical, the ethical, the political, and the theological.
