Local culture and language
In typical Caribbean fashion, the heart and soul of St Lucian culture
is a syncretic amalgamation of the customs, languages, religions and societal norms of the island's French and British colonizers, and of the Africans that they brought with them. Today's population of 158,000 is of predominantly African origin, and some ninety percent of St Lucians are Roman Catholic, with the remainder made up of Protestant, Anglican and a small number of Rastafarian believers. However, though Christian hymns are sung lustily enough to raise the church roofs each Sunday, St Lucia is also a society in which esoteric African traditions of magic and spiritualism survive. Carnival is the best example of this fusion of Christianity and ancient belief: one of the stock characters of costume parades is the moko jumbie, a wildly attired figure on stilts representing the spirit world. Language
is another aspect of St Lucian culture that shows African influence. Though African languages were suppressed as soon as slaves arrived on the island, French planters still needed to communicate with their workers, and gradually, the common language of

Lucia's culture has evolved from the intermingling of the many different groups of people who have participated in its history. Each has brought different beliefs and traditions, all of which are reflected in the life of the island today. A visitor is likely to drive on the British side of the road to an Indian restaurant in a French town, greeted all along the way in Creole patois O ne of the most accessible expressions of St. Lucia's rich cultural heritage is its cuisine. The fertile, volcanic soil of the island yields an enormous supply of produce, and the island is one of the leading banana exporters in the Caribbean, with six different varieties available. In addition to bananas, St. Lucia's abundant tropical fruits include mangoes, papayas, pineapples, soursops, passionfruit, guavas, and coconuts. Local chefs combine the island's fresh produce with a wide variety of equally fresh seafood to create tantalizing curries, Creole-style entrees, and pepperpot stews. Callaloo soup, made from a leafy green similar to spinach, is the national dish. The island's outstanding cuisine has recently gained international recognition by garnering several gold medals in the regions most prestigious culinary competitions.

Travel By Fingertip.....St. Lucia P oints of I nterest In S t. L ucia Castries One of the busiest port cities in the Caribbean and home to about 60,000 people. Although Castries has been, over the years, victimized by fires and hurricanes, much of the earthy beauty of its 19th Century colonial buildings and streets remain. Of particular historic interest is the area around Columbus Square and Brazil Street. Marquis Plantation: We enjoyed a wonderful trip to this working banana factory. Be prepared for a bit of mud on the shoes - as well as an interesting experience. Addr: St. Lucia Plantation Tours Ph: 442-3762. Marigot Bay History has it that in 1778, British Admiral Barrington hid his ships from the French in this secluded Bay, and saved them from destruction. Now a fun spot for yachting, swimming and socializing. Addr: South of Castries. Fort Charlotte Changing numerous times between French and British hands, this historic Fort situated on "The Hill of Good Fortune" is a burial ground for several of St. Lucia's past governors. Addr: East of Castries. Soufriere This island city dates back to the 18th Century and was named after its towering volcano. Soufriere is home to an enchanting botanic garden and the only drive-thru volcano we've ever heard of.
