[Sca-cooks] Age of "hot cross buns"?

Here is what I've got, unfortunately, no references to check it with:

Hot Cross Buns - traditionally associated with Good Friday, they actually
originate from Egypt.  Early Egyptians offered their moon goddess cakes
marked with horns symbolic of the horned ox they sacrificed at the altar.
Early Greeks presented horn-inscribed cakes to Astarte and other deities.
The Romans ate cross-bread at sacrificial feasts, and the Saxons inscribed
loaves with a cross in honor of Eostre, the goddess of light.
