Description

Today the train has taken us all the way to Seychelles, the land of over 15 islands with no indigenous inhabitants. Seychelles is part of the Indian Ocean, this Island is inhabited by a multi-ethnic population characterized by its long history of slavery, Arab and British Traders, French Colonizers, and Pirates. Their diverse nature is also seen through their different religions, culture, and cuisine.

Religion in Seychelles is very varied. A larger proportion of the population is Christians with Roman Catholicism taking a larger chunk and the rest distributed between Protestants and evangelical Christians, Islam and a smaller chunk stick to their traditional religion despite being disapproved by the civil authorities in place.
