The bakers at Harvest Bakery have been busy this week in preparation of the Holy weekend. The staff made more than 2,000 hot cross buns on Wednesday to get ready for the Easter demand.

The baked good, which is decorated with a cross signifying the crucifixion of Jesus and typically includes spices that represent the spices used to embalm Christ’s body, marks the end of Lent. It has been an Easter mainstay dating back to the 12th century.
