Green man is the name given to certain decorative elements on sacred and secular buildings from the Middle Ages. These show a male head with hair and beard in the shape of leaves.
The figure of the Green Man dates back to pre-Christian, pagan times. He survived in the cathedrals of the High and Late Gothic periods by being depicted as a leafy face made of stone in corners, lintels and plinths.
The green man takes up two Celtic motifs: Firstly the head cult, which regarded the head as the bearer of all power, and secondly the mistletoe cult, as mistletoe was cut with golden sickles by Celtic druids to strengthen the life forces and heal illness. Both elements, head and plant, are combined in the figure of the Green Man.
