GREEN MAN

The Green Man was a very mysterious legend in British folklore that dates back to medievil times.

The Green Man derives from a Pagan God of the woodlands.

The Green Man is usually represented by a human face embedded in foliage.

However, some very ancient depictions show him as horned .

In another example of how Christianity stole the faith and beliefs of the Pagan religeon, the Green Man has been depicted in carved decorations on old churches.

The name of the Green Man survived in many old British Pubs.

It may also be that the Legend Robin Hood derived from the Green Man.
