LEÓN,
THE CITY OF THE GREEN KINGS
The catholic seminary "Casa de
Espiritualidad" |
Probably
the founder of the seminary who prefers to be displayed as Green Man..... |
|
|
|
|
In the
"Casa de Espiritualidad" there is a staircase which has been installed not too
long ago. It is located in the building of the Collegium of the Isidoro church, in
the part in which priest students are being trained. Spicy detail: the staircase contains
various Green Men - who by the way look ugly, for they had to symbolize pagan heretics or
even the devil himself - even more, there is also a sculpture of the Cosmic Mother with
Her Green Man, so big, that it covers the entire wall.... |
|
|
Wonderful Cosmic
MotherGoddess with Her Green Men, sharing Her abundance with all and everything |
|
|
|
Her
"successor" |
|
|
|
|
The double
face of the church. On the one hand pre-christian images are being dammed, on the other
hand allowed even in important buildings, as warning, obviously....
|
|
|
|
|
|
Green Men not
so much ugly, but suffering visibly. Their presence in a Catholic seminary could be
considered as rehabilitation (?).... |

SAVE
THE GREEN MEN OF LEÓN
In front of the main portal of the
Cathedral there are various Green Men. They are unique, but unfortunately totally
neglected. I feel so sorry for them! It doesn't seem that those responsible will restore
them soon. Therefore my call. I will personally commit myself i.e.ask for help with
various groups in León. Please, help! |
|
|
They look like mummies... |
|
Horrible! |
|
|
|
|
|
|
These Green
Beast/Men are equally in a deplorable state. They might be restored also!

In a chapel in
the ambulatorium, a space that is traditionally dedicated to the Mother of God - I found
two archaic images of Green Beasts/Men. Again the relationship between LINK: "Lady and
the (Her) beasts..." |
|
|
|
The Cathedral was
so incredibly dark that I couldn't discover more, except these two devilish monsters |
|
|
Beauuuuutiful........ |
