Flags of the World | Saint Lucia


Postcard
The flag of Saint Lucia was adopted on March 1, 1967. The flag's background is blue, reflecting the Atlantic Ocean and Caribbean Sea which surround the island.

The emblem in the centre includes white and black to indicate harmony between the races living on Saint Lucia. The yellow triangle represents the constant sunshine that the tropical island enjoys and that serves to encourage the tourist industry.

The black triangle symbolizes the topographic features known as the Pitons, ancient volcanic cones found in the southwest of Saint Lucia.
