Catedral de la Santísima Trinidad

At some point, some editor(s) will (have) become curious about the plaque for

Catedral de la Santísima Trinidad

or

Cathedral of the Holy Trinity

which is the name of several cathedrals, if not outright basilicas, world wide, mostly Roman Catholic.

The impressive design of the map's cathedral strikes me as consistent with the many famous Spanish/Portuguese Roman Catholic cathedrals if Latin America. I grew up in a Kansas county with many similar, but German, Catholic cathedrals.

But something is interesting on the plaque:

"la iglesia episcopal te da la bienvenida"

or

"The Episcopal Church Welcomes You"

which has been a particular invitational phrase of the Episcopal Church for over 55 years.

This is complex, but in short, the United States "Episcopal Church" is a Revolutionary War split from the "Church of England", which is a split from the "Catholic Church".

And, the Catedral de la Santísima Trinidad in Kingston, Jamaica (British Colony taken over from Spain) is Episcopalian and was Consagrada/Consecrated in 1911. But the Kingston CHT looks nothing like the Los Muertos cathedral.

P.S. No, really. When I first saw the cathedral, I immediately thought of Cathedral Basilica of the Assumption of the Virgin in Cusco, Peru ("Indiana Jones", Secret of the Incas). The map's cathedral also has features seen in Cathedral Basilica of St. Francis of Assisi (Tuefort).

Make what Trivia of any of this you think you can.
