    Nothing at all.....

    read an arrival the other day and apparently a good percentage of people indicate they’d like to see hot cross buns on sale all year round.

    Is there an actual link between hot cross buns and Easter??

    Esther way Easter to me is a long weekend......wouldn’t mind being able to grab a hot cross bun any time of the year.

    The supermarkets claim it's due to customer demand.

    Hello again.

    Some primeval recollection and a few years of Presbyterian Sunday Schooling has me thinking that there was a link at some time.

    Perhaps it was to celebrate the birthday of the Easter Bunny..... Homer Simpson thought so anyway.

    Cheers,

    Neil

    From memory i think the cross on the bun represents the cross that the alleged messiah was nailed too.

    Possibly just as serious a breach of custom is the selling of hot cross buns without fruit or chocolate flavoured!

    Hot Cross buns seem to be traditionally a sweet, spicy bun baked to mark the end of Lent (the period of abstinence leading up to Easter, when sweet foods such as this should not be eaten). The cross is a nod to the crucifixion commemorated with Good Friday, and probably originated as an attempt to make the indulgence marking the end of Lent as something religious rather than simply an indulgence! The earliest explicit references to them date to the eighteenth century, according to Wikipedia, although something similar probably was being baked a lot earlier. They also seem to be an English tradition, but again, similar customs exist in other cultures.
