The last thing you would expect to see in the middle of
nowhere in Oklahoma, is an ancient looking city made of stone with a stunning
backdrop of mountains.
Located in the Wichita Mountains Wildlife Refuge near
Medicine Park, the Holy City was built in the 1930’s to resemble Old Jerusalem
and serve as a venue for "The Prince of Peace" passion play. The performance
is still held yearly on Easter morning.
The structures, made of locally quarried granite and stone,
became a permeant venue in 1934.
The historic chapel on site contains murals painted by Irene Malcolm in 1945. It has been the host to many weddings and continues to be a popular venue today.
