Good Friday

Hot Cross Buns

These buns are traditionally eaten on Good Friday. We had ours toasted with Red Leicester cheese on top. Delicious. More info here.

The cross is symbolic of Christ's crucifixion :-

Two other men, both criminals, were also led out with him to be executed. When they came to the place called the Skull, there they crucified him, along with the criminals - one on his right, the other on his left. Jesus said, "Father, forgive them, for they do not know what they are doing."

It was now about the sixth hour, and darkness came over the whole land until the ninth hour, for the sun stopped shining. And the curtain of the temple was torn in two. Jesus called out with a loud voice, "Father, into your hands I commit my spirit." When he had said this, he breathed his last.
Luke 23 : 32-34 and 44-46 (New International Version)
