There is a distinction between a cross and a crucifix. The cross was a second century xtian invention - which does not surprise me because the evidence I have seen is that xtianity itself developed in the second century.
The crucifix, however, a cross with a body alleged to be "jesus" dates from the 6th century.
So...somebody got some 'splaining to do!
