I always associated hot cross buns with Easter... Was I wrong? The problem starts with the fact that Easter is a celebration based on the lunar calendar. Because of the difference in length of the lunar month (~28 days) and calendar months (28-31 days) the dates that hot cross buns are prepared will gradually shift through the calendar year, and we have now arrived at the situation where Easter comes just before Xmas. A strange phenomenon where we celebrate the death of JC before he was born. -- Tim C. You know, as a bit of an agnostic, I am all in favour of this rationalisation. Let's get it all done in one day, that's what I say. Oh no, and miss all that time off! Ahem. Surely an agnostic shouldn't want any of it, at any time, at all. Or does agnostic require a hedging of at least one bet? ;-) -- Sacha http://www.hillhousenursery.co.uk South Devon http://www.discoverdartmoor.co.uk/ |
