Thread Name: BS: Easter Eggs query
Subject: RE: BS: Easter Eggs query
Pace-egging is also the Easter play tradition that we did our first performances of last night!

Set me off thinking though - just how common are our traditions? As I said pace-egging I believe is a play whereas Fibula has obviously seen a reference to the rolling of eggs as pace-egging. How common are hot cross buns for instance? Nationwide? Worldwide? And why? What about the ditty -

Hot cross buns, hot cross buns
One a penny, two a penny, hot cross buns
If you have no daughters, give them to your sons
One a penny, two a penny, hot cross buns

Why do daughters take precidence in this case?

Hmmmmm???

Just wondering

Cheers
