A towering statue has unexpectedly appeared along All Saints Road in Antigua, leaving residents both intrigued and puzzled. The imposing figure, which rises above the treetops, features a helmet-like headpiece, a skirted lower half, and folded arms, exuding an air of authority. Positioned on a high platform with scaffolding still visible, the structure has become a dominant feature of the local landscape, visible from afar.
Inquiries have revealed that the installation is the work of Elder Claude Weaver of the nearby Glorious Hope Church. While Weaver has yet to disclose the purpose of the monument, he has promised to share more details soon. The statue’s sudden appearance has sparked a wave of reactions. Some residents draw parallels to biblical visions, while others remain skeptical about its significance.
Bishop Charles Browne has expressed concern, questioning the timing of the monument’s unveiling amidst global and national challenges. “With all that’s going on in the country and the world, I don’t know why it is necessary,” Browne remarked, referencing the biblical story of King Nebuchadnezzar’s dream.
Until Elder Weaver provides an explanation, the statue remains a subject of intense speculation. Some view it as a profound work of devotion or art, while others dismiss it as an ill-timed or misplaced symbol. The mystery surrounding the statue continues to captivate the community, making it a focal point of local conversation.
