The mural depicts 22 biblical scenes and characters while also incorporating people living at the hostel at that time.
[1] In 1958, the superintendent of St Mary's Hostel, Captain Colin Steep, was driving back to the hostel when he passed Czakó painting the local scenery, including Pitchi Richi Sanctuary, and was very impressed with him as a painter and also for his likeable demeanour.
Steep invited him home for tea and, ultimately, asked him to stay and allowed him to set up a studio in one of the sheds.
[2] Following prayers in the chapel one evening Czakó was very excited and said that he had visualised a large mural for the space and said that he would paint in, free of charge, if his supplies were provided.
In July 2021 restoractions took place at the mural, led by Petrick, and supported by a NT Heritage Grant.
