The Green Man is mainly associated
with the symbol of rebirth
, representing the cycle of
growth each spring.  Some say he is the ancient guardian of the forest.
Some
speculate that the mythology
of the Green Man
developed independently
in the traditions of separate ancient cultures and evolved into the wide variety of examples found throughout history.
The Celtic tradition was highly revolved around
the fertility of the land,
and lush vegetation was a sign of prosperity.
Instead of repurposing the Green Man, the church embraced the Green Man through architecture.
In fact, most European churches have Green Men hiding all around the walls and ceilings. Next time you are in one be sure to look around.
You will be amazed as to just how many are scattered around from Ireland to even many parts of Russia!
The reason the Catholic church
didn’t seem to mind this Celtic symbol was because of Jesus Christ. As the symbol is of death and resurrection(rebirth), the church saw it as a way to spread the word of Christianity through symbology
