Hot Cross Buns!
Three Pennies Waiting - Buns Still Hot
A church spire is visible in the background of this illustration as well.
Here, the actual baker is the hot cross bun seller. The crosses on his
hot cross buns are darker, which may have been the original custom in
Europe (see Religious Significance section.) This seller is singing his
heart out and ringing a bell to get attention, even though his
customers have already assembled. Can you spot three pennies in three
little hands, waiting to purchase a treat?
