The patron saint of music, Saint Cecilia, has a feast day today...So, to celebrate, let there be music!
Typically musical performances are held all over the island on November 22, to honor Saint Cecilia.
St. Lucia is a speck of land in the Caribbean that changed hands so much, between France and Britain, that some call the island the "Helen of the West Indies."
Helen is a reference to Helen of Troy, a figure in Greek mythology who was supposed to be so beautiful, she was wooed by many men - and fought over, and even kidnapped!
So, why was there so much competition over St. Lucia, the island? Is it, too, beautiful?
You be the judge:
The most common views of St. Lucia feature these two mountains, the Pitons, which are volcanic plugs or spires:
