La Rogativa

It is a group of catholic statues holding crosses and torches. There are three women and an elderly priest. It is important because it honors the women and bishop who decided to do a procession in the night of February 17, 1797 for the Freedom of San Juan from the invasion British Invasion of Ralph Albercromby, whose forces outnumbered the Puerto Rican forces, and they were scared away because he thought that the torches of the procession were Spanish reinforcements.
