The Orgins of The Evil Red

Throughout history the color red has been associated with power and passion. In ancient Rome the color red was reserved for the Emporer alone. Early medieval depictions of angels and the virgin Mary's hair were almost exclusively painted in red.



In the early 1500s the leaders of Christianity discovered that the Germanic tribes depicted their God Thor with red hair. All things red were considered to be descended from Thor.




























Christianity wanted to discredit this pagan idol, so Mary's hair became blonde, and all things demonic were rendered in red, the most famous being the devil.
