Hot Cross Buns & Eagle Coffee

The hot cross bun tradition began in medieval England. In the 14th century, a monk at St Albans Abbey (Brother Thomas Rocliffe) is said to have baked spiced buns marked with a cross on Good Friday and shared them with the poor and pilgrims. The cross symbolized the Crucifixion, while spices and fruits represented the burial spices of Jesus. The tradition traveled to North Texas via British settlers, Anglican/Episcopal churches, and later waves of English, Irish, and Commonwealth immigrants in the 19th–20th centuries.

Hot cross buns (Library of Congress) are a traditional Easter treat dating back centuries, symbolizing both the end of Lent and the crucifixion of Jesus. These spiced sweet buns, often containing raisins or currants and marked with a cross on top, are typically eaten on Good Friday.

The cross represents the crucifixion, while the spices symbolize the spices used to embalm Jesus. Sharing hot cross buns fosters community and reflects on the religious significance of Easter, marking a solemn yet celebratory time in Christian tradition.
