Cross

The cross is used in many Christian churches as a symbol

of the Savior’s death and Resurrection and as a sincere

expression of faith. As members of The Church of Jesus

Christ of Latter-day Saints, we also remember with reverence

the suffering of the Savior. But because the Savior lives, we

do not use the symbol of His death as the symbol of our faith.

Your life must be the expression of your faith. Remember

that when you were baptized and confirmed, you covenanted

to take upon yourself the name of Jesus Christ. As your associates

observe you, they should be able to sense your love for

the Savior and His work.

The only members of the Church who wear the symbol of

the cross are Latter-day Saint chaplains, who wear it on their

military uniforms to show that they are Christian chaplains.
