spirit of the green man

A Green Man is a sculpture, drawing, or other representation of a face surrounded by or made from leaves. Branches or vines may sprout from the nose, mouth, nostrils or other parts of the face and these shoots may bear flowers or fruit. Found on many medieval churches and buildings throughout Europe, the green man is primarily interpreted as a symbol of rebirth, representing the cycle of growth each spring. ~Wikipedia
