Jaro Cathedral: Explore Iloilo

The Church of St. Elizabeth of Hungary in Iloilo, are commonly known as Jaro Cathedral. It was old and very beautiful. Jaro Cathedral was built in 1874but was damaged by an earthquake in January 1894. It was repaired in 1956 by the first Archbishop of Jaro, Jose Maria Cuenco.

Its fiesta is every February 2, Nuestra Señora de la Candelaria is the main focus of annual jaro fiesta. The Nuestra Señora de la Candelaria (Lady of the Candles). A 400-year old statue is said to be miraculous.

The Jaro Cathedral become one of Iloilo’s most famous and treasured landmarks and has accommodated the spiritual needs of Ilonggos.

This is the famous Nuestra Señora Dela Candelaria (Our Lady of the Candles) or Jaro Metropolitan Cathedral. It is believed that the Lady of Candles brings protection and divine illumination to one’s path if the person asks for her help. I love the old architecture and it's murals inside. The lampposts outside reminds me during the heydays of Dr. Jose Rizal. If the lampposts can talk, it would tell you the weddings, funerals and baptisms that happened during the Spanish era.⁣⁣ ⁣ The centuries old image of Our Lady of the Candles stood at the church's facade where it can be reached through 32-step staircases at both sides. The statue faces the bellfry across the street. ⁣ ⁣ The church's belltower is separated. It is said that there used to be an underground passage beneath the belltower that would lead to its entrance in Casa Mariquit⁣. ⁣⁣ Lighting a candle is a challenge. The church has 2 box-type candle lighting area made of galvanized roof. The tin material becomes hot and burns you if you are not careful enough. Devotees would queue up and sometimes would take a while to place the candle because there isn't enough space. ⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ #church #JaroCathedral #OurLadyoftheCandles #candles #Jaro #Iloilo #CityofLove #catholic #devotees #architecture #oldbuildings #romanesque #art #culture #heritage #SinoPinas #SiIloilo #redmaletatravels (at Nuestra Señora Dela Candelaria Parish Church) https://www.instagram.com/p/BsIl4zdAwMd/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=v6vwd86g888h

Before leaving #Iloilo, we went to mass at the #JaroCathedral and lit candles at the chapel. With so much gratitude for all blessings! 💗💕🐰 (at Jaro Cathedral) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bo2nk3KBXCI/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=148wawikduyme
