EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the spirit of community and generosity on Good Friday, 1910, at the Salmon Lane Mission in Limehouse Fields, East London. The image shows over 500 impoverished children, bundled up against the cold, eagerly awaiting their turn to receive a hot, freshly-baked hot-cross bun. Hot-cross buns, a traditional Easter treat, were a rare luxury for many children in the East End at the time. The Salmon Lane Mission, a charitable organization, organized this annual feast to bring joy and nourishment to those in need. The mission's dedication to providing for the community was a testament to the enduring customs and traditions of the time. The children's excited expressions and the warm glow of the fire in the background convey a sense of hope and unity, as they come together to celebrate this cherished Easter tradition. The act of sharing hot-cross buns on Good Friday has deep historical roots, with the first recorded mention of the practice dating back to the 12th century. The cross on the bun symbolizes the crucifixion of Jesus Christ, making it a fitting treat for the religious holiday. This photograph is a poignant reminder of the power of community and the importance of coming together to support one another, especially during times of hardship.
