Okay. I accept that. To me... Its a cross. Its a pattern in the shape of a cross.

Do you think that was thought about, by our leaders? Considering this temple is in the heart of the Roman Catholic religion? Who use the cross daily.

No, I'm saying there are another two squares near the bottom of the door that aren't super visible, making it more like two + signs, one on top of the other.

I can't afford a car, I use public transportation,
I don't mind, I read till I reach my destination,
sometimes a newspaper, sometimes a book,
the money I save, this stuff is off the hook,

This is what I saw as well.

Cool. I missed that. Hope that's the case. I can't view it now, but oh well.

I'm confused why one vertical line would be visible/more defined but not the other.

Well it is just a computer model of what the temple will look like so I wouldn't be too critical of it. I highly doubt that the church would put a giant cross on the front door of a temple even if it is in Rome.

I like my focus to be on the Risen Lord personally so I've never really given the cross much thought.

I think the other guys are right because I really don't think the church puts a cross on ANY LDS church building barring some major announcement.

That being said.

It sure does look like a Cross over the doors to me.
