According to the book "A Man on the Moon" by Andrew Chaiken, Buzz Aldrin brought the communion aboard the Eagle and he and Neil Armstrong quietly partook. This was not recorded for the public or televised because Apollo 8 had read 10 verses from the book of Genesis in the Christian Bible on their Christmas broadcast in 1968 causing some controversy and were sued by an atheist.
