When you first arrive in Jamaica, it’s impossible not to notice the countless churches that fill the island’s towns and countryside. Just as the UK is known for its pubs on every corner, Jamaica could be described as the land of churches — where faith and community meet at nearly every turn.
In this episode, we explore how Christianity and Rastafari shape Jamaica’s cultural identity, music, and daily life. From Kingston’s grand Holy Trinity Cathedral to Montego Bay’s historic St. James Parish Church, religion is not just a matter of belief — it’s woven into Jamaica’s governance, art, and social fabric.
You’ll also hear about how Rastafari — though often considered a secondary faith — has profoundly influenced reggae music and global perceptions of Jamaican spirituality through icons like Bob Marley.
This episode paints a vivid picture of how faith defines Jamaican life — not just within church walls, but in homes, government, and the rhythms of everyday conversation.
