A Cross is not a symbol of Christ's death but his resurrection. Some churches , notably Roman Catholic and some Orthodox churches use crucifixes - i.e. crosses on which are depicted the figure of the dying or dead Christ, in order that they remember the death of Christ. Im other churches, however, the Cross is empty - symbolising the resurrected Christ, and it is this aspect of our faith that we remember when a cross is used in Church. They are often used on a communion table, or as any focal point within the building.
