EDITORS COMMENTS
This image is believed to be the earliest known photograph of Mary Baker Eddy, the trailblazing founder of Christian Science. Taken between the years 1821 and 1910, the young woman in the photograph exudes a quiet confidence and intelligence that would later come to define her as a spiritual leader and healer. With her ringlets cascading down her shoulders and her high collar framing her face, she wears a simple yet elegant black dress that speaks to the modesty and restraint of the era. Her smile, warm and inviting, hints at the compassionate and nurturing nature that would inspire countless individuals to seek solace in her teachings. Born in Bowdoin, New Hampshire, in 1821, Mary Baker Eddy faced numerous challenges in her early life, including the loss of her first husband and the death of her son. It was during these trying times that she began to explore the healing power of spirituality, eventually leading her to develop the principles of Christian Science. Her groundbreaking book, "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures," published in 1875, would go on to revolutionize the way people understood and practiced their faith. Despite facing criticism and skepticism from the religious establishment, Eddy's unwavering belief in the power of spiritual healing led her to establish the Church of Christ, Scientist, and the Christian Science Publishing Society. Her legacy continues to inspire and uplift millions of people around the world, making this photograph a precious and historical reminder of the remarkable woman who brought the teachings of Christian Science to life.
