It's supposed to remind us of His sacrifice, but we shouldn't concentrate on His Death. The miracle and the whole reason we worship Him is that He's alive because He rose from the dead.
I don't have any crosses anywhere, neither does my sister and we're both evangelical. In fact, as a rule, evangelical Crhsitians tend to shun crucifixes and even crosses.

It has crossed my mind too. Particularly the crucifix as a piece of jewellery; I don't think most people wear it in order to commemorate Christ's sacrifice. It's purely there for aesthetic reasons-how ethical is that? Jesus wanted to teach us how to be better men and Christians; not fashion.

I know I would be a little bit wary of people who hung a likeness of me around their necks with me nailed to a cross.

If Jesus was executed 20 years ago, would Christians be wearing little electric chairs around their necks?

it`s like wearing a little rifle around your neck to remember JFK and MLK by.
by the way "body and blood of christ"? sounds like cannibals and vampires to me....

no! he want to see what you have done on earth, for Him or for yourself and many other things. hanging all these crucifixes was only to remind you of Him.
