Jesus is stripped of His garments

From The Life of Our Lord Jesus Christ, by J-J Tissot (1897)

All is now ready; the wood of the Cross has been screwed together and made perfectly strong and firm; the ropes for raising it are in their places, the holes for nails are bored.  Time presses, not a moment must be lost!  Jesus is now lead forth and the stripping off of His garments begins.  Of course the crown of thorns is the first thing taken off, the "the vesture that is without seam" could only be removed by dragging it over the head of the Saviour.  That "vesture" was soaked with the blood of the Sufferer and stuck to the unhealed wounds inflicted on Him in the scourging, so that when it was torn off much fresh suffering must have been caused by the pulling away with it of portions of lacerated flesh.  The seamless garment removed, nothing was left but the short linen drawers such as are are worn by all Jews.  Certain critics assert that even these were taken off, so as to make the Victim drink the very dregs of shame, and that one of the Holy Women, some say the Blessed Virgin herself, came forward to offer to the Saviour a garment to cover His nudity.  Yet others claim that it was a young man who arrived in the very nick of time to supply the Sufferer's need.

However that may be, there is little doubt that when on the Cross Jesus was girt about the loins with linen drapery.  It would indeed have been a most extraordinary exception had it been otherwise in a Jewish country. Nevertheless, a certain number of the Fathers of the Church have asserted their belief in the complete nudity of the Saviour at His execution, seeing in it many beautiful mystic meanings, such as the parallel which will naturally occur to everyone, between the nudity of the first man and that of the second Adam.

Totus tuus ego sum 

Et omnia mea tua sunt;

Tecum semper tutus sum:
Ad Jesum per Mariam
