what faith celebrates kwanzaa?

Question

what faith celebrates kwanzaa only black people or is there a religion?

Answer 1

It is not linked to religion, only African-american culture.

In 1967, a year after a man named Karenga proposed this new holiday, he publicly espoused the view that "Jesus was psychotic" and that Christianity was a white religion that blacks should shun. However, as Kwanzaa gained mainstream adherents, Karenga altered his position so as not to alienate practicing Christians, then stating in the 1997 Kwanzaa: A Celebration of Family, Community, and Culture, "Kwanzaa was not created to give people an alternative to their own religion or religious holiday."

Answer 2

It is African-Americans that celebrate Kwanzaa there is no faith, If you believe in the priciples of Kwanzaa then you celebrate it. You can be white and celebrate Kwanzaa. The faith or religion doesn't matter.

Answer 3

Kwanzaa (or Kwaanza) is a week-long Pan-African festival primarily honoring African-American heritage.[1] It is observed from December 26 to January 1 each year, almost exclusively in the United States of America.

Kwanzaa consists of seven days of celebration, featuring activities such as candle-lighting and pouring of libations, and culminating in a feast and gift-giving. It was created by Ron Karenga, and first celebrated from December 26, 1966, to January 1, 1967. Karenga calls Kwanzaa the African American branch of "first fruits" celebrations of classical African cultures.

Answer 4

Kwanzaa is secular.

Answer 5

Kwanzaa is not a "religious" holiday, per se...it's more an ethnic celebration for Black people.

Answer 6

i wouldn't say religion.....

As an African American and Pan-African holiday celebrated by millions throughout the world African community, Kwanzaa brings a cultural message which speaks to the best of what it means to be African and human in the fullest sense.

The holiday, then will of necessity, be engaged as an ancient and living cultural tradition which reflects the best of African thought and practice in its reaffirmation of the dignity of the human person in community and culture, the well-being of family and community, the integrity of the environment and our kinship with it, and the rich resource and meaning of a people's culture.
