Did you know? The custom of eating hot cross buns actually predates Jesus. According to The Encyclopedia Britannica, the ancient Greeks and Romans sold bread marked with a cross at their temples.
Similar customs existed in the Americas. Ancient Germanic peoples ate cross-bread in honor of Easter, a goddess of light.
"The custom, in fact, was practically universal, and the early Church adroitly adopted the practice, grafting it on to the Eucharist and so giving us the hot crossbun.”
