What Old Testament references are there to the cross of Christ?

The Old Testament does not reference Christianity.
Another thought:
Actually, without the Hebrew scriptures, the Greek (New Testament) would make no sense...and vice versa. The Hebrew Scriptures (Old Testament) provide the 'framework' for the coming of the Christ, and though a 'cross' is not mentioned specifically, the principle is, at Deuteronomy 21:23 where it states that anyone hung on a stake (pole/tree) is cursed. This prophesies the death of Messiah, as he was cursed for our sake (Galatians 3:13)(2 Corinthians 5:21) .
Besides this, MANY facets of messiah's DEATH certainly are referenced in the OT.
Just a few examples are:
**Isaiah 53:4-12 - (fulfillment:Matthew 9:2-8; Matthew 20:28)
**Psalm 16:10, Psalm 49:15 - (fulfillment: Acts 2:31+32)(Acts 3:15)
**Psalm 22:16 - (fulfillment: Matthew 27:46, Mark 15:34)
**Psalm 31:14 - (fulfillment:(John 20:17)
**Isaiah 42:1-7 - (fulfillment: Matthew 12:18-21)
**Micah 5:2/John 7:40-42/Matthew 2:3-6(fulfillment:Luke 2:4-7)
**Psalm 34:20 - (fulfillment: John 19:33-36)
**Psalm 41:9 - (fulfillment: (Mark 14:18, John 13:18+26)
**Psalm 69:21 - (fulfillment: Matthew 27:48, Mark 15:36, Luke 23:36, John 19:29
**Isaiah 53:1-12 - (fulfillment: Matthew 20:28, Romans 5:6+19, 1Peter 2:24)
**Zechariah 11:12 - (Matthew 26:15, Matthew 27:9)
**Zechariah 12:10 - (fulfillment:John 19:37,Revelation 1:7)
**Zechariah 13:7 (Matthew 26:31)(John 16:32)- (fulfillment:(Mark 14:50)
And there are many more.

How many times is Old Testament mentioned in the New Testament?
Though direct references to Old Testament passages would have an exact number (I'm afraid I don't know it exactly), it was common for some phrases to be easily recognized among well studied Jewish people, so just because it is not expressly quoted to be from Isaiah, etc, doesn't mean the audience at the time would not have understood it to be an allusion to a well known Old Testament passage. Christians believe that the entire Old Testament is pointing to the work of Christ in the New Testament, and the whole of the New Testament after Christ's sacrifice to atone for sin on the cross, reveals the pictures contained in the Old Testament's rituals and sacrifices. Because of this powerful interrelation, it would be hard to limit this answer to an exact number.Answer:An index in the Jewish New Testament catalogs 695 separate quotations from the books of the Old Testament in the New (Jewish New Testament Publications, Jerusalem, 1989). There are many other passages where the Old Testament is referred to , as in cases where an Old Testament figure is mentioned, but no specific scripture is quoted. Depending on which scholar's work you examine, the number of quotations and references in the New Testament to the Old may be as high as 4,105(Roger Nicole, The Expositor's Bible Commentary , Zondervan, Grand Rapids, 1979, Vol. I, p. 617).
