The Birth Of A Festival
You probably know that Christmas,the Spring Festival and Ramadan are important holidays in the world．But have you heard about Kwanzaa?Kwanzaa is a seven-day festival celebrating the culture and history of African Americans．The week following Christmas Day,many African-American families get together to greet the new year and think about the past．
African Americans have a long history and a rich culture,but Kwanzaa is a young holiday．Kwanzaa was born in 1966,when people created a new festival so that African Americans would be able to celebrate their history and culture．The people who created Kwanzaa used the word for“first fruit”in Swahili,one of the largest languages in Africa．They chose the word because there are many festivals in Africa called“first-fruit”festivals．The African first-fruit festivals had many things in common：people would get together to celebrate their harvest；they used to give thanks for their harvests and for life；they used to honour their ancestors,celebrate their past,and the group or society they lived in．The festivals were a way to celebrate history and culture,as well as the new year.
