Rogativo<br> Puerto Rico picture - A statue in Old San Juan commemorating an attack and blockade by (British) General Abercromby in 1797. Desperate and nearly starving, the women of San Juan took to the street with torches, praying to Saints Catherine and Ursula for help. The British mistook the marching women for armies, and abandoned the seige.
