Description: On Christmas Eve 1968, as wars raged across continents, three astronauts—Frank Borman, Jim Lovell, and William Anders—became the first humans to orbit the moon. From their tiny capsule they watched “earthrise,” our luminous blue planet rising above the gray lunar surface—a breathtaking vision that forever changed how we see ourselves.
Hours later, they broadcast an unexpected message to one- fourth of humanity: the first ten verses of Genesis. Through reading these verses, they reminded us that the earth was created without boundaries and divisions, and our calling is to live upon it in a spirit of unity and harmony.
Drawing a timeless connection between the astronauts’ revelation and the shepherds of Bethlehem, One Silent, Starry Night invites readers to remember that regardless of our backgrounds and beliefs, we are one human family, and Earth is the precious home we share.
Illustrated with beauty and sensitivity, this story rekindles the promise of that first Christmas night: Peace on earth and goodwill to all people everywhere.
