Saint Lucia Flag

The flag of Saint Lucia was adopted on February the 22nd in 1967 to replace the British Blue Ensign defaced with the arms of the colony. The flag is blue, with a gold isosceles triangle below a black arrowhead; the upper edges of the arrowhead have a white border.  

The colours and symbols of the flag tell the cultural and the story of the Country. The blue represents the sky and the sea, in particular the Atlantic Ocean and Caribbean Sea which encircle the country. The black and white allude to the harmonious relationship between the black and white races. The yellow stands for sunshine and prosperity. The triangles represent the Pitons, twin volcanic cones located in the southwest part of the island: Gros Piton and Petit Piton are a national symbol of Saint Lucia.
