St. John’s Bakery revives an Easter tradition

Chimal and Wendy exchange jokes as they knead a batch of English muffins at Toronto’s St. John’s Bakery.

TORONTO - At St. John’s Bakery, the spiced, sweet scent of freshly baked hot cross buns fills the air. The bakery revives this popular tradition every year in anticipation of the joy of Jesus’ resurrection. But more than preparing an Easter treat, the hands that make the hot cross buns are symbols of hope and community.

Remember homeless at Christmas

Topped by the Good Shepherd Angel, homeless Christmas trees placed around downtown Toronto by the Good Shepherd shelter intend to remind the city about the 5,000 homeless people sleeping outside or in shelters nightly. This tree at King and Bay Streets comes with a social media campaign behind it with the hashtag #HomelessChristmas.

The Good Shepherd doesn’t want Torontonians to forget there are people living on the streets, sleeping in doorways, eating whatever they can find while the rest of us shop for the perfect Christmas morning surprise.
