a giant feast
The kinara is the special candelabra or candleholder for celebrating Kwanzaa. It holds places for seven candles. One candle is lit on December 26, the first day of Kwanzaa. Each day a new candle is lit, followed by the lighting of those already lit on the immediately preceding evenings. The last candle is lit on New Year's Day, when Kwanzaa ends.
Every year Kwanzaa ends on New Year's Day (in other words, on Jan. 1, 2011).

The dates of the celebration, December 26 - January 1, were chosen to correspond to the end of the year celebrations in America. Kwanzaa begins the day after Christmas.
