bly, Never he Determined.
Just how and when She hot cross bun
came into vogue must remain forever
matters of pure conjecture There are no
less than three absolutely authentic sto-
res OF its origin current today. or these
the religious story will quite probably be
the one more generally believed and rec
ognized.
The Roman Catholic church and the
Episcopal church declare that in the ear.
~ days of the Roman Catholic church y
was a custom for those who were strong
and healthy to send n little cake marked
with the sign of the cross on Good Fri
day TO those of their friends and relatives
who had been una BILE by illness to attend
divine service and witness the raising of
the host.
In the seventeenth and eighteenth cen
turtles these little cakts were regarded
with both reverence and awe. 1t WAS sup
posed that they would never grow moldy.
In households where there were children
they never did.
Bryant. the historian, says that the hot
cross buns originated with the Romans.
the name of the sacred cake which the
Romans offered every seventh day. The
story OF Cpcrops. another legend Of mag
nanmity, runs Ike this:
There was time in Cecrops' career
when he thought it would be To the ad
vancement of his general career To curry
favor with Jupiter for a bit and just ser
if he couldn't get some nice. fat little ap
pointment out of him. Jupiter was rather
under the weather just then. Ii was the
springtme. and Jupiter had fallen IL vic
tim to that tired feeling peculiar to the
season.
When Cecrops heard Of this. he hurried
down to the kitchen of the palace, seized
saucepan and the head cooks apron
and proceeded to make cake. He decid'
ed mentally that 1t was to be cake
which should stand without rival in the
worlds annals of culinary art. When II
was finished, Cecrops laid it on a golden
platter and carried it to Jupiter himself.
The cake was not much to look at
The powers of that cake as set forth by
Cecrops in his presentatij IN speech to Jr
piter were marvellous In the extreme. Ce-
crops had made out a catalogue of the ills
and accidents which that cake could pre-.
vent Only four Of these powers of this
original hot cross bun have come down
the ages. They are these: This cake
would never grow moldy. it would ward
away witches. was sure cure for stom'
