Holidays & Observances in Grenada
Grenada is a country made up of several different islands in the Caribbean. It was owned by the French for many years before it was taken over by the British. The culture has been affected by both of these European countries, most notably with the religion, which is divided almost 50/50 between Catholicism and Protestantism. Grenada has also been influenced by Caribbean, Latin American, and African cultures. Holidays celebrated in Grenada reflect this mix of cultures with unique traditions and celebrations.
