Wooden Brown Kinara, Handmade Kwanzaa Candleholder, African Holiday Decor

Kwanzaa Kinara is a traditional candleholder used during the celebration of Kwanzaa. Kwanzaa is a week-long holiday that celebrates African heritage and culture. The kinara is an important symbol during this holiday and represents the seven principles of Kwanzaa.

It is typically made of wood and is designed to hold seven candles. These candles are usually red, black, and green, which are the colors associated with Kwanzaa. Each candle represents one of the seven principles of Kwanzaa: Umoja (unity), Kujichagulia (self-determination), Ujima (collective work and responsibility), Ujamaa (cooperative economics), Nia (purpose), Kuumba (creativity), and Imani (faith).

During the celebration of Kwanzaa, a candle is lit each day to represent one of the principles. The kinara is placed in a central location, such as the dining table or a prominent shelf, and serves as a reminder of the values and principles of Kwanzaa.
