Christ used that symbolism for the purpose of teaching us that if we want to become like Him, then we need to also bear our cross of sacrifice for the gospel.

How does Mormonism feel about the symbol of the cross?

My advise is to don't bother with that [non-Celestial language deleted] information! The [non-Celestial language deleted] who came up with that apparently don't even understand what prophetic days are!!!
