Commemorative printed lunar prayer, entitled “A Christmas Eve Prayer from Lunar Orbit,” one 11 x 7.75 parchment-type page, issued in conjunction with the Apollo 8 mission and bearing an Apollo 8 stamp with first-day cancellation, and reading, in part: “As Apollo 8 began its last lunar orbit, Colonel Borman said, ‘We are now approaching the lunar sunrise and for all people back on earth the crew of Apollo 8 has a message we would like to send to you.’ The television camera aboard the spacecraft panned the lunar surface as Borman and his fellow astronauts recited in a medley the first eight verses of Genesis.” Also printed on the sheet is Borman’s prayer, which begins, “Give us, o God, the vision which can see thy love in the world, in spite of human failure.” Signed and inscribed at the top in blue felt tip, “Best regards to Seymour—John Glenn.” In fine condition.
