Kwanzaa decor...
..the first yard decorations for Kwanzaa I've ever noticed. In keeping with creating/using handmade objects in the celebration, these Kwanzaa "candles" are wonderful examples of such work.
Kwanzaa, a seven day long celebration for all people of African descent, was created in 1966 by Dr. Maulana Karenga. It was created to reaffirm the culture, heritage, values and bonds that hold African Americans together as a people.
Kwanza means "first fruit" in Swahili. An extra "a" was added to the word in the name of the holiday, Kwanzaa, and in this way it has one letter for each of the 7 days of the celebration, December 26 to January 1.
