Good Friday |
 |
Why do people eat hot cross buns on Good Friday?It is likely that spicy buns were a springtime speciality before Christian times. When people became Christians the tradition continued and a cross was put on the top as a reminder of what happened on Good Friday. The buns were once a breakfast treat but now they are eaten at any time of the day. They are usually served hot with butter. |
| The song Hot Cross Buns comes from the time when bakers sold their buns in the street and called out to let people know they were selling hot cross buns. | |
