Luminarios


CHRISTMAS LUMINARIOS
Luminarios are one of the loveliest of the old customs still followed today in the southwest. They are small brown paper sacks, half filled with sand and a candle placed in the sand. On Christmas Eve these are lit and it is intended that by so having the way lit, it will help in guiding the Christ child to this home.
