I don't wear my crucifix in secret...but I heard someone day that we perpetuate the crucifixion when there is a Jesus still on it...if anything, we should have crucifixes w/no Jesus on it to perpetuate His rising from the dead & the fact that He's no longer on the cross! He overcame the cross & death! But in my humanness, I'd feel funny taking off the cross that's been with me during my MOST TRYING times & was such a comfort & symbol for me to kno with God & His Son, my Brother, ALL things are possible; ESPECIALLY forgiveness in our most GRIEVIOUS sin!
