Because of the cross on the buns, some say they should be kissed before being eaten. If taken on a sea voyage, hot cross buns are said to protect against shipwreck. If hung in the kitchen, they are said to protect against fires and ensure that all breads turn out perfectly. The hanging bun is replaced each year.<br /><br />the cross also as a symbol of the crucifixion or in honour of the goddess Eostre with the quarters representing the 4 phases of the moon. <br /><br />you pick what you like best. tradition is wonderful. glad spring has sprung in your land! <br /><br />i'll share a hot cross bun with you anyday. <br />love<br />jojohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03890736653864514559noreply@blogger.com
