Hot cross buns, the eating of which < Is one of the ceremonies of Good Fri day, were first baked as part of the spring festival for the goddess Eostre, whose pagan name has clung to the season. The heathen cakes have never been dropped from the regular rou tine of the feasting, either. Dozens of early clergy tried to stop the more « or less ceremonial indulgence in them. They prohibited them, But nothing happened about it. So they had them marked with the cross and took them over. The delights of children, and of. most grownups—eating cakes and kindling bonfires —are actually the two oldest methods of celebrating In j the world. They go back to the time j that the regular set of gods and god- i desses were just in the process of be- ; Ing established. Most every group ! seems to have started off with a sun- : god who was worshiped by fires and , lights and with a kind of goddess of j plenty, or earth deity, or queen of I Heaven. This last lady was wor shiped with cakes in old China, in ; ancient Mexico, in early Britain and in northern Europe. Beautiful Altar Decoration. .
