Most Christian churches 'celebrate' the death of Christ every week, but only celebrate his resurrection once a year. Also, most representations of Christ are him hanging on the cross. Whyzat?

Which Christian churches 'celebrate' the death of Christ every week? Out of curiosity, how do they go about celebrating this death?

Because that is where the exchange took place. Our sins for His perfect record. He nailed our sins to that cross. Without it, we'd all deservedly end up in Hell.
Having said that, we all die. But one came back from death to prove He is who He said He is. He lives! We should celebrate that daily.

In the RCC it's the eucharist; in Protestant churches it's bread and wine. It's 'communing' with his suffering and death.

Eucharist: body and blood of Christ.

Which is living, not death. Christ is also known as the perfect sacrifice, and we present him as the perfect sacrifice...perfect obedience.
