ST. LUCIA - Saint Lucia’s flag is rectangular with a cerulean blue background to reflect the Atlantic Ocean and Caribbean Sea which surround the island. Two embedded triangles sit at the center which symbolize the Pitons twin volcano cones for which the island is best known. One triangle is white and black to represent harmony of the races living in Saint Lucia; the other one is yellow and represents the year-round sunshine and prosperity. Saint Lucia’s national flag was adopted in 1979 at independence, and last modified in 2002 where the yellow triangle was enlarged and the black and white triangle made narrower.
