National Cross Day

Calling all Christians to celebrate National Cross Day on 26th September.

Christ died so that we might have life, so wear your cross with pride.

Together, let us reclaim this nation for the Lord!’

Wear your cross on National Cross Day – 26th September

Do you have a cross? Perhaps in your jewellery box or tucked away in a drawer? Make sure you wear it on National Cross Day!

Why a National Cross Day?

There are millions of Christians in the United Kingdom. Where you work. On the train or bus. Where you volunteer. Where you socialise. But do you know who they are? For too long, grassroots Christians have been invisible. Yes, there are the people you see on Sunday mornings … but at other times? National Cross Day enables you to find Christians everywhere.

What do I have to do?

Wear your cross on National Cross Day, 26th September (including at work if that’s allowed).
Round your neck. On a lapel. Pinned on your shirt. Anywhere other Christians can easily recognise you – and you can recognise them.

Then talk to them.

Make new friends.

Build new Christian networks!

That’s the idea. Very simple. You CAN do it!

What if I haven’t got a cross?

Get one!

Buy one at your local jewellery shop (and so help support a local business too!).

Many Christian bookshops also sell crosses you can wear.

Buy one online, perhaps at a Christian gift shop or The Christian Gift Company.

If you have the time and skills, you could make one of your own!

What else can I do?

– Put it in your diary.

– Tell your Christian friends about National Cross Day (NCD).

– Share on social media and help make National Cross Day go viral! Tag your posts and reels #nationalcrossday or #ncd.

– Tell your vicar, priest or pastor. Ask them to talk about National Cross Day.

– Be creative! Design a poster or flyer at home or at Sunday School, print off and put it up at your church, school, local library, anywhere!

– Organise a local event.

– Tell the members of your home group or fellowship group – both now and the day before, so they don’t forget!

– Help make National Cross Day a success. Remember this is a grassroots initiative: its success depends on you. You CAN make all the difference!
