Em 1797 uma frota inglesa entrou na baía disposta a atacar a cidade. O ataque foi frustado e então os ingleses fizeram um bloqueio naval tentando minar a resistencia dos moradores. No desespero, os moradores resolveram fazer uma procissão para pedir ajuda a todos os santos. O bispo, seguido por mulheres, desfilaram com tochas por toda a cidade levando os ingleses a acreditar que os moradores tinham recebido reforços. No dia seguinte os ingleses terminaram o cerco e foram embora. A estátua é uma obra do artista Neozelandês Lindsay Dean que a esculpiu para comemorar os 450 anos de San Juan.

In 1797 an English fleet entered the bay willing to attack the city. The attack was frustrated and then the English made a naval blockade trying to undermine the resistance of the residents. In desperation, the villagers decided to make a procession to ask all the saints for help. The bishop, followed by women, paraded with torches throughout the city leading the English to believe that the villagers had received reinforcements. The next day the English finished the siege and left. The statue is a work of the New Zealand artist Lindsay Dean who carved it to commemorate the 450 years of San Juan.
