Upon the completion of the Cathedral Basilica of St. Augustine, the area has become more stable and started to grow better. The structure served as a strong tie between the settlers and the locals. This relationship was celebrated by lighting the chandelier in the nave of the church, which was also never allowed to be off by more than a moment for more than 100 years.
