On April 4, 1926, Reverend Anthony Mark Wallock initiated an Easter service and dramatic production with a cast of five in the Wichita Mountains of Oklahoma. The play quickly grew into a large, traditional passion play, attracting thousands of spectators each year. In the mid 1930s the WPA built the present Holy City of the Wichitas five miles west of its original location. New structures including the temple court, Pilate's judgment hall, Calvary's Mount, the Garden of Gethsemane, and a replica of Christ Church in Alexandria, Virginia, which George Washington had attended. The site hosts one of the longest-running passion plays in the United States.
This memorial to Reverend Wallock is in the form of an open book. Nearby are three flagpoles and engraved / donated bricks and pavers in honor of veterans.
