Found in many cultures around the world, the Green Man is often related to natural vegetative deities in different cultures throughout the ages. Primarily it is interpreted as a symbol of rebirth, or "renaissance," representing the cycle of growth each spring. Also know as Leaf Man or Jack in the Green, the image of the Green man is one of the few symbols from pagan religions that crossed over to Christianity intact, as the image is found on hundreds of churches throughout Europe.
