Kwanzaa is an opportunity to celebrate African traditions and culture. We celebrate the Seven Principals: Umoja (unity), Kujichagulia (self-determination), Ujima (collective work and responsibility), Ujamaa (cooperative economics), Nia (purpose), Kuumba (creativity) and Imani (faith). This Gye Nyame Pyramid Kwanzaa Kinara provides an attractive and dramatic holder for the traditional red, green and black candles that are lit each night to celebrate the Seven Principals. It is black and shaped like an Egyptian pyramid with the Gye Nyame symbol that signifies the supremacy of God in all things outlined in white. It is sure to become centerpiece of your family’s Kwanzaa celebration. The Kinara is 14.5” wide and 5.5” tall. The base is 1.5” wide. Made in Ghana.
