Kwanzaa
The colors of Kwanzaa are black, red and green;
black for the people, red for their struggle,
and green for the future and hope
that comes from their struggle.
Therefore there is one black candle,
three red and three green candles.
These are the mishumaa saba (the seven candles)
and they represent the seven principles.
The black candle represents the first principle
Umoja (unity) and is placed in the center of the kinara.
The red candles represent the principles of
Kujichagulia (self-determination),
Ujamaa (cooperative economics) and Kuumba (creativity)
and are placed to the left of the black candle.
The green candles represent the principles of
Ujima (collective work and responsibility),
Nia (purpose) and Imani (faith) and are placed to
the right of the black candle.
The black candle is lit first on the first day of the celebration.
And the remaining candles are lit afterwards
from left to right on the following days.
This procedure is to indicate that the people come first,
then the struggle and then the hope
that comes from the struggle.
