The churches along the Way of the Cross route that are significant for pilgrimage and reflection include the Church of the Holy Sepulchre, the Church of the Flagellation, and the Church of the Condemnation and Imposition of the Cross.
Pilgrimage churches were build following the Romanesque-cross plan containing two arms.
A pilgrimage church is typically shaped like a cross, but the shapes can vary. Pilgrimage churches are frequently located by the graves of saints and are usually built where a miracle had taken place.
Churches are often built in a cross shape, symbolizing the crucifixion of Jesus. The forward orientation is typically towards the east, to symbolize the direction of the rising sun and represent the resurrection of Jesus. This design is meant to create a sacred space conducive to worship and reflection.

So where in Ellen White's writing does she say why we do not put a cross on our churches. Where can I find this information? Thank you.
I am not sure if I understand your question. However, I will answer what I think you are asking. St. Helena was the mother of Roman Emperor Constantine the Great. When she was 80 years old she led a pilgrimage to the Holy Land to search for the True Cross on which Our Lord was crucified. She found what is believed to be the cross as well as a number of other important relics and sites that were part of Our Lord's life and passion. With the help of her son, she also constructed a number of shrines and churches in the Holy Land over or near these important sites.
Because of the central importance of the cross, in reflection of Jesus' sacrifice for us and because it frightens the devil and his demons when we do.
The cross, and a fish!
Christianity is based on the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ. Jesus was put to death on a cross so Christian churches use a cross as their symbol.
