Each day of Kwanzaa is tied to one of the holiday’s seven principles: unity (umoja), self-determination (kujichagulia), collective work and responsibility (ujima), cooperative economics (ujamaa), purpose (nia), creativity (kuumba), and faith (imani). Each day, families bring out corresponding symbols and light a new candle on the kinara (candleholder). On the final day a feast is held, called the karamu.
