Holy Heathens and the Old Green Man is a 2006 album by English folk group Waterson:Carthy, also featuring the vocal group The Devil's Interval, released on Topic Records.

[1] It is a collection of seasonal songs, most having a Christian flavour ("Diadem" is unique in that it has phrases which suggest that the figure being adored is a Green Man rather than Christ).

They have mostly avoided familiar carols, and even where the words as well-known, they have selected unfamiliar tunes.

There is more instrumental accompaniment on this collection than on any previous Waterson:Carthy album, notably containting brass arrangements influenced by Martin Carthy's work in the band Brass Monkey.
