HOT cross bun is a spiced sweet bun that is traditionally eaten on Good Friday and Easter Sunday.
It marks the end of Lent and each part of the bun has a specific meaning. The cross symbolises the crucifixion of Christ, the spices represent those used to embalm him at his burial, and the plumped up dried fruits signify his resurrection on the third day.
