Eastern Orthodox and Catholics will make the Sign as one way of venerating an icon of any saint, as well as when venerating the Cross or other sacred relics and objects. It is also often used as a gesture of associating oneself particularly with a petition bring prayed for or when a favourite saint is mentioned in prayers. Anglicans will make it while kneeling, before they sit down in the pew. Priests have many more specific occasions upon which to make the Sign. Most other protestant denominations do not use the sign.

Catholics do, the Orthodox and, I think, just Anglicans and Lutherans.
Nope....it's not in the bible to do so, but why wouldn't you want to trace Jesus' cross on yourself for protection and blessing?
