1821 1864 Baker Crying Eddy Founder Photographed Ringlets Waiting
EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures a moment in time with Mary Baker Eddy, the founder of Christian Science, in 1864. In a rare display of compassion and kindness, Eddy is seen quieting a crying child before their picture was taken together. The image showcases Eddy's gentle demeanor and nurturing nature, contrasting the strong and influential leader she is known to be in the history of religious movements. Born in 1821, Eddy's life was marked by adversity and hardship, yet she persevered and went on to establish Christian Science, a unique religious system based on the teachings of the Bible and the healing power of prayer. Her groundbreaking work challenged traditional medical practices and offered a new perspective on spiritual healing. In this photograph, Eddy is dressed in the high collar and voluminous skirts typical of the mid-19th century. Her ringlets cascade down her shoulders, and her expression is warm and inviting, as she holds the child close, soothing him with a tender touch. The image offers a glimpse into the compassionate side of a woman who changed the lives of countless individuals through her teachings and healing practices. The photograph, taken in 1864, is a testament to Eddy's ability to connect with people from all walks of life and to offer comfort and solace in times of need. It serves as a reminder of her enduring legacy and the profound impact she had on the world of spirituality and healing.
