Mysterious Statue on All Saints Road Sparks Curiosity and Concern

A towering statue that appeared suddenly along All Saints Road has left residents of Antigua and Barbuda puzzled and whispering about its meaning and purpose.

The massive figure, which seems to have been erected overnight, has drawn comparisons to biblical imagery, with some suggesting it resembles the statue described in the Book of Daniel.

When Antigua.news iniquired about the image it was revealed that the person behind the imposing monument is Elder Claude Weaver of the Glorious Hope Church, located on the same road.

Elder Weaver declined to go into details but promised to provide more information about the statue’s significance in the coming days.

In the meantime, the structure has stirred both curiosity and criticism. Well-known religious leader Bishop Charles Browne questioned the timing and motive behind the installation.

“Why would anyone think it is necessary to put up an image at this time? With all that’s going on in the country and the world, I don’t know why it is necessary. It boggles my mind. Whether it is the image that King Nebuchadnezzar saw in his dream… We don’t know,” Browne remarked.

The statue itself is hard to miss. It depicts a tall human figure with a helmet-like headpiece covering the face, which bears defined eyes, nose, and lips. Its arms are crossed tightly across the chest in a gesture of strength, authority and arrogance.

The torso is sculpted to appear muscular, while the lower half is covered with a skirt-like garment. Perched high on a platform above the treetops, the statue looms over the area, with supporting scaffolding still visible at its base, suggesting it is not yet complete.

For now, the statue remains a mystery—its symbolism and purpose unknown.

As speculation swirls, residents wait to hear more from Elder Weaver, whose explanation may determine whether the monument is viewed as a beacon of faith, a piece of art, or a controversial figure on Antigua’s landscape.
