Our Community Hour at 12:00 Noon features tamales, a tradition in Latin America where those who find the baby Jesus in the Rosca de Reyes on Epiphany host a meal rooted in communal responsibility and celebration. The sharing of tamales marks gratitude, hospitality and the presentation of the Christ Child, blending Indigenous footways with this observance.
