The hot cros bun "cross" has no symbolism in religion it was simply made with a knife before baking to distinguish the hot bread from normal bread after baking.

I'm surprised "They" haven't had Hot cross buns banned.

Do they not know what the cross represents, the bloke in the picture definitely knows.

Not many know what the Easter egg is supposed to represent either .They just follow on another tradition of lining pockets of exploiters.

Not humbug , the meaning of Easter has been relegated to the cash cow.

Sign of the times.

CORRECT the problem comes when folk start to combine then

Yes they are . I was not insinuating that people who do not follow religion do not have morals , only that in the context of the thread that Easter has a message. Many people may not believe it , and that is their right.
