Hot Cross Buns Origin

I love origin stories - where did something start, how did it start, how has it changed over time. Etymology is the study of the origins of words, and in music, this can be the history and development of words related to music. So, where does the classic song, Hot Cross Buns, really come from? Dr. Robin Giebelhausen is an assistant professor of music education at the University of Maryland specializing in general music. Robin recently posted about the origins of Hot Cross Buns. Take a moment to read - SO much cool information!
