        "text": "National Hot Cross Bun Day celebrates the sweet, spiced bun marked with a cross on top. Often made with yeast dough, cinnamon or other spices, and dried fruit such as raisins, currants, or sultanas, hot cross buns are traditionally associated with Lent and Good Friday in many historically Christian countries. The cross symbolizes the crucifixion of Jesus Christ.\nAlthough hot cross buns are especially linked with Easter, they are enjoyed throughout the year in many places. Their history includes stories of monks sharing cross-marked buns on Good Friday, old beliefs about their protective or healing powers, and the 18th-century English street cry that inspired the nursery rhyme “Hot Cross Buns.” The origins of National Hot Cross Bun Day itself are unknown, but September 11 offers an extra opportunity to enjoy this distinctive baked treat.",
