Well, I for one am very glad the topic did get bumped, since I would probably never have seen some of the later posts if it hadn't. I'm really amazed and intrigued by this particular bit of info from LEGO Historian:

Many of the folks (at least back in the 1950s and 1960s) living in Billund area were/are members of a conservative Lutheran organization called (in English) "Inner Mission" (Indre Mission in Danish). And back in the 1950s employees used to get "glow in the dark" crosses that were given to TLG employees, and also sold to other religious groups and individuals...

Brickpedia has a nice image of the LEGO produced cross and the box it came in...

Wow! Just how "LEGO-ey" is that cross? I mean, I get that it was made by them after they began making bricks and can thus be considered a LEGO construction element, but does it actually fit into the LEGO System as we know it - that is, does it connect to other LEGO elements? It looks like it could be a tile, that connects on the bottom to studs like any other LEGO tile, and it's just different in being cross-shaped. Is that what it is, or is it just as purely cross-shaped piece of plastic with no traditional LEGO connectability, or what?
