This illustration shows a wooden kinara with seven tapered candles-three red on the left, one central black candle, and three green on the right-all lit with bright yellow flames. The colors symbolize the Pan-African flag and the Nguzo Saba (Seven Principles) of Kwanzaa, observed from December 26 to January 1. Each candle is lit sequentially over the seven days to honor values like unity, self-determination, and faith.
