Best Answer

I have been reliably told that the origin of the hot cross bun was that a monk from St Albans Abbey in England made the first hot cross bun s in 1361. The cross was originally just cut in, not piped on & the relevance is obvious. The spices represent the frankincense & myrrh. The fruit represents of the fruit of the Holy Spirit.

These buns are traditionally eaten in Lent and especially on Good Friday, the day jesus was crucified. The crosses are there to remind us of the Cross on which he died.
