Catedral Emperatriz de Santa Elena

The cathedral exhibits a blend of wood and cement construction materials, with interior walls featuring small blocks of compacted shell material and wooden murals.

Saint Helena, mother of Roman Emperor Constantine, inspired the cathedral's name due to her search for the true cross of Christ's crucifixion.

The cathedral's wooden altar displays a mural depicting birds in the sky, humans on land, and fish in the sea, with God at the center.

The cathedral accommodates over 300 people and maintains regular religious services, while standing as the Episcopal Vicariate headquarters of Santa Elena.

The tabernacle features a conch-shaped structure with a pearl at its center, representing the reserved space for the Blessed Sacrament.
