Kinara to complete Christmakwanzakah?
Look MIR, Madcat is thinking about you too.
The seven candles represent the Seven Principles (or Nguzo Saba) of Kwanzaa. Red, green, and black are the symbolic colors of the holiday.
During the week of Kwanzaa, a new candle is lit on the kinara each day. The center black candle is lit first, and the lighting alternates between the red and green candles beginning with the outermost red candle and moving towards the center. In this way each day of Kwanzaa is dedicated to the contemplation of one of the Seven Principles.
Each of the candles also have a meaning.The black one symbolizes African race, red stands for African blood shed, and green stands for the land of Africa.
See, we all have our differences, but that what makes us a great goEMAW family.
