Our Lady of Light Cathedral, also known as Catedral Nossa Senhora da Luz or Guarabira Cathedral, is a Roman Catholic church in Guarabira, Paraíba, Brazil. It is the main church of the Diocese of Guarabira. The parish of Our Lady of Light was created on April 27, 1837, under the Archdiocese of North Parahyba. On October 10, 1980, with the papal bull Cum Exoparet and the creation of the Diocese of Guarabira, the parish became a cathedral. The current building began in 1857 in Renaissance style and was renovated in 1981, blending classic and modern architecture. Located in central Guarabira, it houses wooden carvings including a 1884 image of Christ and of Our Lady of Light, plus a Via Crucis and a wooden tabernacle.
