In Arthurian folklore, the symbolism of the Green Knight is hotly debated. However, because of his vibrant colour, healing powers, forgiveness, and presence at Christmas and New Year's Day, various people have linked the knight to the rebirth of the land and the hope of the new year.

In the Arthurian folktale "Sir Gawain and the Green Knight," Sir Gawain witnesses the resurrection of the Green Knight. Appropriately, he faces the Green Knight on New Year's Day, the rebirth of the year, which is shortly after Christmas, the Biblical birth.

In the Arthurian legend "Sir Gawain and the Green Knight," Sir Gawain's symbol is the pentagram. The legend treats it as a Christian symbol, representing the five wounds of Christ and the five virtues of knighthood, in contrast to the Green Knight's pagan imagery.

When Gawain, King Arthur's nephew, chopped the head off the Green Knight at New Year's as part of a "game," the Green Knight picked up his head and told Gawain to meet him next New Year's to get his own head chopped off. Many scholars have debated this symbolism.
