Mormons and the cross

It's no accident that Mormon steeples, temples and necks are free of Christian crosses.LDS leaders long have said the cross, so ubiquitous among traditional Christians, symbolizes Jesus' death, while Mormons worship the risen Christ. Some Latter-day Saints go even farther, condemning the cross as some kind of pagan or satanic symbol.
