"And that which can be destroyed by truth should never be spared its demise." Careful what you wish for.
Its interesting you say that, because the resurrection is the important part. If not for that, Jesus would've just been another martyr. The cross (as opposed to a crucifix) actually symbolizes the same thing a stone rolled away from a tomb does. He's not on the cross anymore, or in the tomb. I haven't seen the stone and tomb idea on a necklace yet, but it would make a cool tattoo.
