Set of Kwanzaa Candles

The seven candles of Kwanzaa, known as the mishumaa saba, are placed in a holder called a kinara and represent the seven principles of Kwanzaa. One black candle is in the center, with three red candles to its left and three green candles to its right. Each day, one candle is lit, starting with the black candle, to honor one of the principles.
