Hot Cross Bun In History.

The hot cross bun has both antiquity
n tradition In its favor. Its history
traces back not only to the time of
Cecrops and Astarte, but also t the
Jewish passover cakes and the cross
marked wafer or eucharistic bread
adopted by the early Christians and
mentioned in st. Chrysostom's liturgy.
The substitution Of the cross mark for
the horn mark On the surface Of the
u by the Greeks is supposed to have
been done for the purpose of dividing
more easily the bun into four equal
parts. Similar cross marked buns were
found in the ruins of Herculaneum.
