American-Danish Rose

American-Danish Rose 
This beautiful rose was made by one of our lovely guides, V. Celeste Fahie. It represents the meeting between cultures, and we think it illustrates how diverse and multi-cultural the US Virgin Islands are. Celeste has been taking us on tours around Christiansted and Frederiksted and is a great story teller. She also told us about the traditional religion and medical plants and how the African culture has impacted St. Croix. Celeste is not only a great story teller and culture bearer she is also an artist, and her poetry and artwork is very interesting because she often combines different aspects of history and culture.
