SUMMARY:Akwasidae
DESCRIPTION:The Akan annual calendar is divided into nine parts\, each lasting approximately six weeks but varying between 40 and 42 days in a period called the Adae Festival. The Adae Festival has two celebration days: the Akwasidae Festival is celebrated on the final Sunday of the period\, while the Awukudae Festival is celebrated on a Wednesday within the period.    The Friday preceding 10 days to the Akwasidae is called the Fofie (meaning a ritual Friday).    As the festival is always held on Sundays (Twi in Kwasidae)\, its recurrence could be after 40 or 42 days in accordance with the official Calendar of Ashanti.    During the last Akwasidae of the year\, which coincides with the Adae Kese Festival\, special attention is given to make food offerings and donations for helping people.    The festivals of Adae are not interchangeable as they were fixed from ancient times.

SUMMARY:Nana Kumi Festival
DESCRIPTION:Nana Kumi is an ancient war deity from Aburi-Nsaba\, Ghana\, West Africa. Nana Kumi gives great strength and fortitude. His shrine laid dormant for hundreds of years in the old town called Nsaba. His shrine was found in 1972 by Nana Yao Opare Dinizulu I\, while walking thru the town. Nana Yao Opare Dinizulu told the people that there was something under a tree stump that he wanted. Overgrown by bush\, the people told him that there was nothing there but Nana persisted\, they dug deep into the ground and found Nana Kumi’s shrine. This happened on the third Thursday in August 1972.

SUMMARY:Akwasidae
DESCRIPTION:The Akan annual calendar is divided into nine parts\, each lasting approximately six weeks but varying between 40 and 42 days in a period called the Adae Festival. The Adae Festival has two celebration days: the Akwasidae Festival is celebrated on the final Sunday of the period\, while the Awukudae Festival is celebrated on a Wednesday within the period.    The Friday preceding 10 days to the Akwasidae is called the Fofie (meaning a ritual Friday).    As the festival is always held on Sundays (Twi in Kwasidae)\, its recurrence could be after 40 or 42 days in accordance with the official Calendar of Ashanti.    During the last Akwasidae of the year\, which coincides with the Adae Kese Festival\, special attention is given to making food offerings and donations for helping people.    The festivals of Adae are not interchangeable as they were fixed from ancient times.

SUMMARY:Nana Kumi Festival (Maryland)
DESCRIPTION:Nana Kumi is an ancient war deity from Aburi-Nsaba\, Ghana\, West Africa. Nana Kumi gives great strength and fortitude. His shrine laid dormant for hundreds of years in the old town called Nsaba. His shrine was found in 1972 by Nana Yao Opare Dinizulu I\, while walking thru the town. Nana Yao Opare Dinizulu told the people that there was something under a tree stump that he wanted. Overgrown by bush\, the people told him that there was nothing there but Nana persisted\, they dug deep into the ground and found Nana Kumi’s shrine. This happened on the third Thursday in August 1972.

SUMMARY:Akom Kese in honor of Nana Yao Opare Dinizulu Ist
DESCRIPTION:Nana Yao Opare Dinizulu I is the beloved founder of the Akan culture in America.  Few people parallel the contribution of Nana Yao in perpetuating African culture and heritage in the United States.  He was an example of an African born in America who never relinquished his connection to Africa.  The legacy he left behind assists us as Akans in America to hold steadfast and faithful to the traditions of our ancient fore-parents. Nana’s genuine love and admiration for his culture instilled and nurtured by his grandparents\, gained him much recognition and respect from Africans born in America and abroad. Nana never wavered from his mission of promoting African culture. As a result\, Nana laid the foundation for thousands of people to be introduced to African culture. Nana began his ascension to the land of Nsamando on February 10\, 1991. Join us in celebration of Nana Yao Opare Dinizulu I who left a legacy that continues to enrich and benefit us all.  In addition to holding an Akom Kese we will speak of his history\, his achievements\, his impact and much more.  This is a celebration for all who knew Nana or want to know of him.  This is a celebration for all who continue to create institutions that reflect our African history and heritage.  This is a celebration for all the “lost sons and daughters” of Africa who found their way because of the dedication of Nana Yao Opare Dinizulu I in laying the path.
