Jaro Cathedral, also known as the National Shrine of Our Lady of Candlelight, is one of the most historically and religiously significant landmarks in Iloilo City. Built in 1864, the church is a blend of Baroque and Gothic architectural styles, with a magnificent exterior and a solemn and sacred interior. There are stairs on the front of the church leading to the statue of "Our Lady of Candlelight", which was crowned by Pope John Paul II himself and is the only statue of the Virgin Mary in the Philippines to receive this honor. The Candlelight Festival in February every year attracts countless believers and tourists to make pilgrimages to experience the strong atmosphere of faith and cultural charm. Whether you are a history lover, a religious believer, or a traveler seeking spiritual peace, the Jaro Cathedral is a holy place that cannot be missed.
