Jaro Cathedral, officially the National Shrine of Our Lady of the Candles, serves as the seat of the Archdiocese of Jaro. This historic church is a focal point for Catholic pilgrims, especially during the feast of Our Lady of Candles every February 2. Visitors are drawn to its distinctive bell tower, which stands separate from the main church, and the revered statue of the Virgin Mary atop the facade, said to have miraculously grown in size. The interior features ornate details and a serene atmosphere for reflection.
