in the cross-hairs 

aimed at with a weapon
He was in the cross-hairs but was not afraid to fight back.

on the cross 

behaving as though you're a martyr, the victim of an injustice, and doing it in a self-righteous way, as though you're the only one who has suffered
(the phrase is a sarcastic reference to Jesus being on the cross, the idea being "You think you're an innocent victim, like Jesus on the cross? Who do you think you are?")
situation: Person A has been trying to set up a conversation with Person B, to have a conversation about an important issue that affects a family member (Person C), but Person B has been attacking Person A for his faults, instead of focusing on understanding the family member's challenge - Person B is putting himself "on the cross" instead of helping to solve the problem
"Who do you think you are? Is this about my faults, or are we talking about helping Person C? You give me a call when you get off the cross, and we'll talk more then. Meanwhile, I'll get to work on my own."

Saint Paul of the Cross 

a tiny ass school in Park Ridge, Illinois. You’re lucky if your parents let you leave. While the uniforms aren’t actually that bad, the kids are terrible, prissy little brats, that think they’re the shit when everyone really hates them.
Bob: What school do you go to?
Janice: Saint Paul of the Cross
Bob: Oh, you’re one of THOSE kids...

The Snake The Cross The Crown 

A fuckin' amazing band, they're like melodic emo shiz. Their EP was breathtaking but their new shit sucks.
Kid: Hey, have you heard The Snake The Cross The Crown?
Other kid: Yeah! The Contortionist is my favorite song!

nailed to the cross 

when someone is in a fight and gets totaly beaten up, then he is nailed to the cross. also the same in a discussion. when you talk shit you'll get nailed to the cross ( like jezus )
the guy was talking shit about harry, and harry overheared it. he got nailed to the cross by the guy...
