Luna moth

Phosphar leaf alive in pale moonlight....

Born in the spring

you are edged in violet

stamped

with your maker's stamp:

tiny circlets

etched in code

your epithet -

or are they eyes?

though

no one ever sees you

but the moon.

Why is Christian Science in our name?

Our name is about honesty. The Monitor is owned by The Christian Science Church, and we’ve always been transparent about that.

The Church publishes the Monitor because it sees good journalism as vital to progress in the world. Since 1908, we’ve aimed “to injure no man, but to bless all mankind,” as our founder, Mary Baker Eddy, put it.

Here, you’ll find award-winning journalism not driven by commercial influences – a news organization that takes seriously its mission to uplift the world by seeking solutions and finding reasons for credible hope.
