everybody welcome back to flag slash man
Friday hope you like the st. Lucia
episode before we start I just want to
give a huge thanks to the Tourism
Authority of st. Lucia for helping me
out they contacted me at the last minute
and they hooked everything up it's crazy
I especially like the part where you
guys gave me a free bottle of rum right
when I entered the hotel it was like you
guys were reading my mind because I hey
you guys know how I am with rum
anyway as you know there's the part
where we discussed the small mistakes we
made in the episode or the things that
didn't quite make it into the episode
for one I meant to say that st. Lucia
was the only country named after a real
woman some of you guys were like
Ireland's named after a fertility
goddess but Guadeloupe and Martinique
are overseas departments not territories
of France I kept saying territories
sorry I got the town name wrong it's
Bexon not Bex tin and I think it's
pronounced a different way to the
country was actually voted 11 times not
9 times as the world's most romantic
honeymoon getaway and also I forgot to
mention that the shape of the country of
st. Lucia bears a striking resemblance
to that of Sri Lanka a few fun extra
facts the first European to settle the
island was a French pirate and speaking
of pirates it's rumoured that Blackbeard
hit all of his ill-gotten gains
somewhere around Black Bay on Fridays on
the coast a lot of towns have fish fries
but you're basically just where they
cook up whatever they catch in that day
and then they just serve it I had the
pleasure of trying Marlin for the first
time it is considered bad luck if you
find a lizard or gecko on your car
Napoleon's wife Josephine was from st.
Lucia a lot of people say she's from
Martinique but she was only christened
in Martinique finally the butler from
Fresh Prince of bel-air Geoffrey
he is a st. Lucian alright so that's
just about it and now we got to move on
to the flag so without further ado this
was such a great episode not only
because I got to go there but because I
got to meet so many of you guys and
interview you for the video and we got
to surprise Hannah for her birthday her
and her husband Ian will be going to st.
Lucia I'm just gonna be a little
indiscreet and honest right now adding
Hannah to the show has actually helped
my female viewership it has more than
doubled since she's joined NATO I
haven't really done much for Hannah on
the show so I feel like she deserves it
happy birthday Hannah
so anyway moving on to the flag flag of
st. Lucia is a cerulean blue field
charged with a tricolor double triangle
all
the center a yellow right triangle sits
in front of a white edged black
isosceles triangle the cerulean field
represents the sky in the sea
specifically the Atlantic and Caribbean
the black and white represent the
harmonious relationship between the
black and white populous whereas the
yellow symbolizes the sunshine and
prosperity of the nation finally the two
triangles are shaped as such to
symbolize the two P tones call P tone
which is a little shorter and petite P
tone which is a little taller if you
visit you have to see them otherwise you
did not have a proper stay and keep in
mind prior to independence they actually
pretty much had the exact same flag
except the blue was just a little darker
and the triangles were a little wider
and prior to that they were under
various flags between the British and
the French it dates all the way back to
the Royal Standard of king louis xiv in
1663 and now it's time to move on to the
coat-of-arms the coat-of-arms contains a
bamboo cross shield in the center with
the tudor rose mixed with the
fleur-de-lis to symbolize the mix
between the British and French
influences on the top lies a helmet and
a hand with a torch symbolizing the
beacon to light the path of the future
on each of the sides are the st. Lucia
parrot otherwise known as the amazona
verdict collar the national animal and
at the bottom lies the motto the land of
the people and the light yeah and since
independence they've pretty much haven't
had any other coat of arms but the one
they do have is pretty cool so that's
just about it and now it's time for
geography and mealtime
