September 11 Hot Cross Bun Day.

Today is September 11 HOT CROSS BUN DAY observed each year. A hot cross bun is a sweet, spiced bun made with currants or raisins and leavened with yeast. Just as the name suggests, these baked goodies are marked with a cross on the top, which is supposed to symbolize the crucifixion.
Hot cross buns are popular in English-speaking countries. Some countries have local variations of these pastry. For example, in the UK supermarkets offer apple-cinnamon, orange-cranberry, and toffee buns. In Australian and New Zealand, chocolate and coffee-flavored versions of the bun have become popular.
It is strange because hot cross buns are typically baked and served on Good Friday.
