Greenman information Chart

The Green Man is a symbol pre-Christian in his origins, but later adopted by Gothic carvers and placed in thousands of churches and cathedrals throughout Europe, from Ireland and Scotland to Russia.  He is usually shown as a male head formed as a leaf mask.  He stands for humanity’s “deep kinship with trees and woods,” irrespressible life, and the cycle of renewal and rebirth.
