Usually not religious these days. It used to be a custom in Mexico which I think had some religious significance. I am sure you can find out if you go to google and check it out.

When I was growing up, we put out the luminaries at Xmas to light the way for Baby Jesus. I think people use them now as a decoration for the holidays- I've even seen them at Halloween and during the summer months to greet guests!
so a thief can see where he is going, --as not to trip--
