Man in the Moon or Moon Rabbit - You Call It

     The Man in the Moon is the image of a human face, head or body that certain northern hemisphere traditions perceive in the disc of the full moon. The image is actually composed of the dark areas of the lunar maria, or "seas" and the lighter highlands of the lunar surface and is a quintessential example of Recognizing Resemblances in patterns and then Extracting them and giving them relevance.
      In one common Western perception of the face, the figure's eyes are Mare Imbrium and Mare Serenitatis, its nose is Sinus Aestuum, and its open mouth is Mare Nubium and Mare Cognitum. An older European tradition sees a figure of a man (Maria Serenitatis, Tranquilitatis, Fecunditatis and Nectaris) carrying a wide burden (Mare Vaporum and Lacus Somniorum) on his back. He is sometimes seen as accompanied by a small dog (Mare Crisium). Conventionalized illustrations of the Man in the Moon often seen in Western art show a very simple face in the full moon, or a human profile in the crescent moon, corresponding to no actual markings.
      In contrast to a man, several cultures have perceived other images such as the Moon rabbit or even a 'Madam in the Moon'. We've included a unmarked photo of the Moon for you to print and outline. What do you see in the Moon?

The Mary From Membertou

People from across the region are making a pilgrimage to a home on the Membertou First Nation, where an image described as the Blessed Virgin Mary has appeared on a bedroom wall, and as a result is being covered by news agencies internationally. This Resemblance is remarkable if it is a spot that was made inadvertently or if it was made by nature, ie. mold. There is a chance in this case study for the Resemblance to have been made intentionally.
      Last month, an estimated 2,000 visitors have visited the home, eager to see the image they believe is a message from God.
The spokesperson for the Diocese of Antigonish has also visited the home to view the image.
“This image does look like the Virgin Mary and they are having a faith response to it,” says Rev. Don MacGillivray.
      Homeowner Denise Simon has since converted her bedroom into a shrine, complete with a daily service dedicated to the Virgin Mary.
      “This is her feet, that is her body and that’s her head with the crown, and that’s her rosary beads,” she explains, pointing to the apparent apparition.
Named after the Grand Chief Membertou (1510-1611) the community of Membertou belongs to the greater tribal group of the Mi’kmaw Nation. Membertou is situated in the city of Sydney, Nova Scotia, within its tribal district of Unamaki (Cape Breton). It is one of five Mi’kmaw communities in Cape Breton, and one of thirteen in the Province of Nova Scotia.

• Back in 1998, many people visited the Tim Hortons coffee shop in Bras d’Or, just outside Sydney Mines, after some said they could make out the visage of Christ’s face on the exterior wall.  When outside light bulbs were changed later in the month, the image disappeared.
• Again, in 2001, people in Indian Brook First Nation believed they saw an image of the Virgin Mary holding the baby Jesus on a bedroom wall in a private home.  Thousands journeyed to see that image. The family who lived in the home eventually moved away and it is not known what happened to the image.
