Enid's very own Peace Pole
Enid, Oklahoma now has it's own Peace Pole! What is a Peace Pole? A Peace Pole is a hand-crafted monument that displays the message and prayer May Peace Prevail on Earth on each of its four or six sides, usually in different languages. There are more than 200,000 Peace Poles in 180 countries all over the world dedicated as monuments to peace. They serve as constant reminders for us to visualize and pray for world peace.
The more than 200,000 Peace Poles around the world are on all continents, in every country you can think of. They are in simple places, such as churches and gardens, and extraordinary ones, such as at the Pyramids of El Giza, Egypt or the Magnetic North Pole in Canada.
Other Peace Pole sites: Confucius Burial Site, Taiwan; Pyramids of El Giza, Egypt; Gorky Park, Russia; Findhorn Foundation, Scotland; Robben Island, South Africa; Jordan River, Israel; Atomic Bomb Dome, Hiroshima; The Hague, Netherlands; 2002 Winter Olympics - Utah, US; Cimarron Montessori, Enid, US.
Mayors in many parts of the world have planted Peace Poles to dedicate their cities and towns to world peace. Both political leaders, such as former U.S. President Jimmy Carter, and religious leaders, such as Pope John Paul II, Mother Teresa and the Dalai Lama, have dedicated Peace Poles.
Enid's Peace Pole is located on the corner of West Maple and North Jefferson in front of Cimarron Montessori School. The school dedicated the pole on December 21, 2005.
