Hot cross buns, an Easter tradition in some households. These sweet rolls have a light spice of cinnamon, nutmeg, and allspice. There’s a sprinkling of raisins and topped with a thin glaze flavored with orange. $16/dzn. Can meet up for delivery on Friday the 3rd or Sat the 4th.
The religious symbolism:
• The Cross on Top
The most obvious symbol—the white cross—represents the crucifixion of Jesus. It’s a visual reminder of the sacrifice made on the cross.
• Spices in the Bun
Traditionally, the buns are made with spices like cinnamon, nutmeg, or cloves. These are said to symbolize the spices used to embalm Jesus’ body after his death.
• Sweetness
The slightly sweet flavor represents the hope and joy of resurrection (Easter Sunday) that follows the sorrow of Good Friday.
