When should cross be capitalized?

Answer 1

Any word can be capitalized given the correct situation. 1. There's the obvious answer: at the beginning of a sentence you capitalize any word. 2. In the specific case of "cross:" if it's used as a title of a proper noun. For instance, in Christianity, the Cross is capitalized because it is referring to a specific unique instance of the cross, i.e. the one on which Jesus Christ was crucified. It can also be capitalized in the case of proper nouns: Red Cross, Blue Cross Blue Shield, etc. This includes if it's used as a title, e.g. a band called "Cross" in the title of a paper, etc. There are some more specific cases but, i think I've covered what you were probably asking about.
