In observance of Corpus Christi, the Ministry of Homeland Security distributed seedlings to staff, courtesy of the Ministry of Agriculture and Fisheries, in support of the longstanding tradition of planting on this sacred day.

In Trinidad and Tobago, Corpus Christi is closely associated with the start of the rainy season and is regarded as an auspicious time for planting, with the belief that crops sown on this day will bring a bountiful harvest.

As we honour this cherished tradition, the Ministry encourages everyone to continue nurturing the values of growth, sustainability and community for generations to come.

We honour the courage, sacrifice and resilience of the people who arrived aboard the Fatel Razack on 30 May 1845 in search of a better future. As we commemorate Indian Arrival Day, we celebrate the rich cultural heritage, enduring values and countless contributions of the Indo-Trinidadian community to every aspect of Trinidad and Tobago's development. May this day remind us that our nation's greatest strength lies in the diverse people and traditions that have come together to shape our shared story.

Happy Indian Arrival Day.
