Kwanzaa Luminary Jar Cozie 

Crochet Pattern By Special Request

By Sara Sach of Posh Pooch Designs

A Very Dear Friend asked me to make a Luminary for her

 Kwanzaa Party, after seeing the other Jar cozies that I had designed. 
The Party is at her mom's apartment, and  they are not allowed to use
 real candles. She wants to give them to her family and friends,
 as a reminder of the party and the time spent together. 

 I am so very honored that she asked me to design 

the Luminary. I wasn't sure how Kwanzaa was celebrated,
 and wanted to make sure I was respectful
 and represented  it right.
I hope I did this Beautiful Celebration justice.

A Brief Explanation:

"The celebration honors African Heritage in African-American culture
 and is observed from December 26 to January 1, 
culminating in a feast and gift giving.

Kwanzaa has seven core principles (Nguzo Saba).
 It was created by Maulana Karenga and was first celebrated in 1966–67."

I was inspired By the Kwanza Candles.

During Kwanzaa a special candle holder called a kinara is used. 

A kinara holds seven candles, three red ones on the left, three green ones on

 the right, with a black candle in the center.
