Hence, bread marked with the cross is supposed to be witch proof, will bake all right, not crack across the top. etc. Just ss the Jews have Passover cakes, and other peoples have had sne- has (dally prepared food for their religions festivals, so Christians have cakes for certain seasons. Our hot cross buns on Good Friday are simply modern representatives of the cakes used at some old pagan festival. In days gone by, the cakes and buns baked at Eas ter were supposed to possess great vir tue. Thus, it is an old belief that the observance of eating cross buns on Good Friday Insures, so to speak, the house from Are for the coming year.

In "Pericles" they are called "flanlacks" a term still used In country districts. In truth, to study the superstitions about bread Is to take a wide lesson In folk lore. These superstitious relate to the kneading trough, the oven, bak ers and bread. For Instance, in many parts of France the "arehe" or knead ing trough.

A WTiter la one of our maa-azlnm says that In Gottland the cross is still signed before the oven fire Is lighted or the dough kneaded. This practice la very common In the country districts all over Europe. In Brittany the house wife makes the sign of the cross with the right hand while she places the left hand In the trough. After the dough Is kneaded the ltd of the trough la shut, and so la the door; for if a cat should enter the room the bread would not rise. Certain charms of In vocations are used to cause the bread to multiply Itself. Thus, the peasant housewife adjures the dough to Imi tate the leaven, the wheat, the miller, and to rise.
