The problem, of course, is that this is what Catholics tell us about their "veneration" of Mary and their belief that she is a "co-redeemer" and a "dispensatrix of all graces." Catholics still insist this kind of "veneration" is permissible and encouraged in Scripture when it is clearly, resoundingly prohibited.
Historically, kissing the cross goes back to the 4th. century, and in England it was called "creeping to the cross", one many practices of piety which was outlawed in 1540-something by the crown.
Where in the Bible are we instructed to kiss the cross?
On the contrary, Scripture tells us to "kiss the Son."
"Kiss the Son, lest he be angry, and ye perish from the way, when his wrath is kindled but a little. Blessed are all they that put their trust in him." -- Psalm 2:12
