Grenada, known as the Spice Isle for the nutmeg and mace plantations that have defined its economy since French and later British colonization, carries a religious history split between the two powers that ruled it in succession: Roman Catholicism, planted under French rule before the British took the island in 1783, remains the largest single tradition, while Anglican, Presbyterian and a growing number of Pentecostal and evangelical churches trace to the longer period of British administration that followed.
Grenada's small population, spread across the main island and the smaller dependencies of Carriacou and Petite Martinique, sustains an unusually dense concentration of churches relative to its size, and religious festivals tied to the agricultural calendar, especially the nutmeg harvest, remain woven into community life in a way that outlasted both the colonial period and the political upheaval that followed independence in 1974.
