    Some people in the Southwest call the paper bag lanterns luminarias, while other insist the correct term is farolitos since luminarias was the term used for the small bonfires that were set along roads and paths to light the way to Midnight Mass. A luminaria or farolito is a small ligt or lantern (commonly a candle set in some sand inside a paper bag) which has its origins as a Spanish Chrismas-time tradition dating back to the 16th century.
    The white round area is the camera flash and will not be present on actual card.
