The Green Man


The Green Man has been a symbol in many religions of the unity of humankind with all of creation. The image can be seen carved in various places of some of the great cathedrals of Europe. In early church architecture, sculptures of a human face with sprouting leaves symbolized new life and continued growth through Christ. It is also a symbol today of our relationship with nature and our responsibility to preserve and protect all of Creation.
