This sculpture symbolizes the first Mass celebrated in San Antonio on June 13, 1691. The day before, the first Spanish expedition to march across Texas to the Louisiana border reached a stream the Indians called Yanaguana — "Place of Restful Waters" — which the Spaniards led by Captain Domingo de Teran and Padre Damian Massanet, O.F.M., named the Rio de San Antonio "because it was his day" — the Feast Day of the great St. Anthony of Padua.| HM Number | HMKMT |
