The answer to this question depends on which gospel is preferred as a source.
The Gospel According to St Matthew also says that women looked from afar off: among them, Mary and Mary Magdalene. Once again, no one was present at the cross.
The Gospel According to St Luke says that those of his acquaintance stood afar off with the women.
The Gospel According to St John says that the mother of Jesus, her sister (also called Mary) and Mary Magdalenefollowed Jesus and stood by the cross with the disciple whom he loved.
If you are taking of the two theives on the cross with Jesus. Only one believed and followed Jesus to heaven. Their names are not recorded in the Bible
He did. There were women, such as Mary Magdalene, who followed or supported Jesus.
The apostles and Jesus were at the Last Supper of Jesus. When Jesus was on the cross, Jesus' mother Mary, the apostle John, and a few other women were there.
St. Peter - He was appointed the Rock by Jesus when Jesus was on the Cross.
A large number of people followed him, including women who mourned and wailed for him. Jesus turned and said to them,"Daughters of Jerusalem, do not weep for me; weep for yourselves and for your children.-Luke 23:28. Jesus told the women who were mourning and wailing for him as he was carrying his cross before he died not to mourn for him but themselves and their children.
A:Mark's Gospel does not actually mention Jesus carrying his cross, although it is assumed he did at first, until Simon of Cyrene, who was passing by, was ordered to carry the cross for Jesus (Mark 15:21). This is followed by both Matthew and Luke, which are more or less directly dependent on Mark. It is in John's Gospel that we find Jesus carrying the cross all the way to the site of his crucifixion - John 19:17.
In Mark 15:40-41, it is said that many women were present at the crucifixion of Jesus, including Mary Magdalene, Mary the mother of James and Joseph, and Salome. These women had followed and ministered to Jesus during his ministry and were now witnessing his final moments on the cross. Mark highlights their presence to emphasize their dedication and loyalty to Jesus even in his darkest hour.
The cross without Jesus on it signifies that He is risen & no longer on the cross..Jesus is alive.

While Jesus was on his way to the hill called Golgotha to be hung on a cross, Simon of Cyrene was grabbed by Roman soldiers to carry Jesus's cross for him, as Jesus was too weak from all the beatings to do so himself. By the time Jesus was hanging on the cross he was watched by a number of Roman soldiers who threw lots for his clothes. With him were two other criminals who were condemned also. There was also an abundance of religious leaders there to spite Jesus, telling him again and again that if really was the Christ he would take himself down off the cross. At a distance a group of women stood watching, these included: Mary Magdalene, Mary mother of James, and Salome. There were other women besides these, but they remain unknown. Though it is unclear, it is possible that Joseph of Arimathea was present because after Jesus's actual death the Bible states that he approached Pilate to retreive his body from the cross.
the cross is used to remember Jesus and how Jesus died
