Hot Cross Buns
By the early part of the eighteenth century the Hot Cross Bun was traditional Good Friday eating throughout England. Until modern times it was available there only on Good Friday, but in America the buns were sold throughout the Lenten season. The imprint of the cross on rolls and breads dates from pre-Christian cultures, when such imprinted breads were offered as sacrifices to various gods.
– from Delores Casella, A World of Breads, 1966
