Orasion
Description
This is a prayer which, based on its content, appears to be connected to the conclusion of a peace agreement. So far, it has not been possible to identify it with any other known record. The references to “telegrams” and the “signing of peace” suggest that it was most likely composed in the 20th century, when the use of telegrams was widespread. Research is ongoing, with the aim of uncovering further information.
