Khrist Kwanzaa
"All Year Long"
Kwanzaa is a week long African American
holiday observed from December 26 through
January 1, which focuses on the traditional
African values of family, community
responsibility, commerce and self
improvement. The name Kwanzaa is derived
from the phrase, "matunda ya kwana" which
means, "first fruits" in Swahili.

Cultural rituals celebrated in your parish and
community, not just at Christmas time. The
value centered principles of Kwanzaa are
uniquely incorporated into a program of
self-development and community awareness.
