Lynn — Eddy's Hidden Manifesto

You learn that Mary Baker Eddy, amidst the clatter
Lynn: Birthplace of Christian Science and the World's Shoe Capital
« The understanding of divine Love, which heals even in the case of a deadly injury, is a shield to my entire being. »— Mary Baker Eddy, 1870
Lynn: Between Leather and Belief
Lynn, Massachusetts, was in the 19th century an epicenter of innovation and industry, particularly in shoe manufacturing. Nicknamed the 'Shoe Capital of the World,' the city attracted thousands of workers and engineers, its factories producing millions of pairs of shoes, especially for women. This industrial fervor, characterized by automation and work organization, profoundly shaped Lynn's urban and social landscape, creating unprecedented wealth but also social challenges and labor movements.
It was in this context of rapid transformation that Mary Baker Eddy, after a severe fall in 1866 on Oxford Street, experienced what she described as a divine healing. This event was the catalyst for Christian Science, which she began to develop and teach in Lynn. There she wrote the first drafts of her major work, *Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures*, and laid the foundations of her movement. Lynn was thus the simultaneous stage for the industrial revolution and a profound spiritual quest that would mark America.
