First, many people see a face when they look at the full moon. Others see a face in profile when they look at the crescent moon. This is NOT what is meant by "The old man in the moon."
The old man in the moon is usually seen as an old man carrying a bundle of sticks upon his back, sometimes carrying a forked stick and lantern and accompanied by a little dog. There are many European legends explaining how he got there.
A German version of the story goes something like this:
Ages ago there went one Sunday morning an old man into the wood to hew sticks. He cut a bunch and slung it on a stout staff, cast it over his shoulder, and began to trudge home with his burden. On his way, he met a handsome man in a Sunday suit, walking towards the church.
"Don't you know that it is Sunday, when all good Christians should be resting from their labours?" said the stranger.
"Sunday on earth, or Monday in heaven, it's all the same to me!" laughed the old man.
"Then bear your bundle forever, and as you value not Sunday on earth, yours shall be a perpetual moon day in heaven; and you shall stand for eternity in the moon, a warning to all sabbath-breakers!" and the stranger banished him to the moon.
Some time later in Germany, along came the Bismark. Then came Adolf Hitler.
