A Child’s Game – I don’t think so! Gargoyles were used to ward off evil; will you be able to ward off defeat?
The original purpose of a gargoyle was to drain water away from the sides of a building. The word comes from the French “gargouille”, which means “throat or pipe”. However, the history of the gargoyle extends much further back in time. They were “alive and well” in ancient Greece. They especially flourished in and around the Middle Ages.
They were a decoration of the house of God. They were carved by many people and took a number of forms: animals, people, demons, fantastic creatures or collection of interesting little symbols or other devices. They were believed by many to serve as protectors, relating to the idea that in order to keep away “evil spirits”, something frightening must be used.
