Sheer tragedy: Mother Teresa cinnamon bun stolen



When Bob Bernstein arrived at his coffeehouse to assess the scene of an early Christmas morning break-in, the one thing he noticed missing was the cinnamon bun that bears a striking likeness to Mother Teresa.

Bernstein said he believes that the culprit is someone angry over the shop displaying the world-famous pastry, which has been preserved with shellac. A jar of money next to the Nun Bun was not stolen.

"They went right for the bun," he said. "Unfortunately I think it's somebody who wanted to take it to destroy it."

The Nun Bun gained worldwide attention in 1996 when a customer nearly took a bite of it before recognizing the revered nun in the folds of flaky pastry.

3. Have they no shame?? stealing someone's bun...
Mother Teresa deserves better than that...Hard not to try and make a joke of it all though, she didn't take it seriously.....But I don't want to offend anyone who is seriously concerned about this theft...Probably a jealous baker....

9. Those people are always looking for their faith to be re-affirmed,

because it is so thin. That's how we end up with Mother Theressa Cinnamon buns, and Jesus's face in the bottom of a frying pan and so forth.
