I mentioned on the radio that Jesus was stripped of his garments on the cross which was part of the whole aspect of crucifixion — the utter degradation and humiliation of the person and to strike fear in the heart of all observers.

A gentleman wrote to object to my assertion and so I provided this short answer. You can read it HERE.

PS. Here is a statue of a naked Christ on the cross sculpted by Michelangelo
