DESCRIPTION:

National Hot Cross Bun Day celebrates the hot cross bun, a sweet pastry traditionally eaten at the end of Lent in the British Commonwealth Christian communities. Bakeries often have them on sale this day.

A hot cross bun is a sweet pastry made with raisins and cinnamon and marked with a cross on its top. Traditionally eaten on Good Friday, the Friday before Easter, it signals the end of the season of Lent. The cross atop represents the crucifixion of Jesus. The spices inside of the bun symbolize herbs rubbed on His body before the internment, and the bread, as in Christian tradition, represents the body of Jesus Christ.

Why this day falls in September rather than in the spring on Good Friday is unknown. During the reign of Queen Elizabeth I, she banned hot cross buns except for funerals, Christmas and Easter. It turns out hot cross buns are a hot topic politically as well!
