In this paper we introduce a method of presenting 3-manifolds by polyhedral schemata with 2 vertices so that they may be naturally associated with given crystallizations of 3-manifolds. As applications, we explicitly present crystallizations of $n$-fold cyclic branched coverings of $S^3$ over 2-bridge knots.
Keywords: crystallizations, polyhedral schemata, Heegaard diagrams, cyclic branched coverings, 2-bridge knots
