Hot cross buns are said to date back to the 12th century but were first mentioned in the Oxford English Dictionary in 1733.
The cross on the top is supposed to signify the means by which Christ was crucified, the bread represents his body and the spices refer to the cloth saturated with spices that was wrapped around him after his death.
They were often kept as they were said to bring good luck and health.
