The crucifixion is the symbolism we need to be able to understand what God has done for us, but the sacrifice was made when God went against his own nature in order to make creating the universe possible.

Christ's sacrificial death on the cross and the darkness immediately after it picture creation in the moments before God said "let there be light" before nucleosynthesis, the fabled "Big Bang."
What was the Darkness?
The darkness that existed in the beginning (Genesis 1:1) was the darkness of a complete absence of light. The darkness that came at the evening of the first day was a created darkness.
