Christ's Bloodstained Cloak

The Scriptures tell us that in the Garden of Gethsemane, Christ bleed great drops of blood. If this is so, then wouldn't his garments have been stained with his blood. If so, why doesn't anyone make a comment about the blood.

Here's a theory, that after he had finished bleeding an angel took it to heaven to save it for his second coming.

Cloak Bloodstained Christs

After being "captured" (for lack of a better word because I think my brain is not working properly) by the Romans, was Christ not stripped of his clothes for the scourge? I am going on what I remember without looking back into scripture. At that point, would not his clothes have been a non-issue? I understand the curiousity behind his death shroud, but -- I am not familiar with tales of a cloak. I am always willing and excited to learn new things. I will go back into scripture and see what I can find. Thank you for the challenge!

Christ's Bloodstained Cloak Studies Doctrine Mormon

Is that why in the classic paintings of Christ he's wearing a red cloak? Or is that just symbolic of the blood he shed? I can't help but think what he really looks like when I look at paintings of him because they just don't seem accurate.

Are you saying the blood on the cloak will be used to cleanse the world? That's an interesting view.

Zelph, what led you to make that assumption? Is it something you thought of on your own or are you drawing conclusions from elsewhere?

Christ's Bloodstained Cloak

One day while reading in the N.T. when Christ was in the Garden bleeding from every pore his white clothes would of been covered in blood, but no mention of anyone saying anything about his outfit being covered in blood. I started meditating on the event and in my minds eye I imagined that the last Angel that visited Christ to strengthen him was sent Christs cloths was also changed and the bloodstained cloak was taken to heaven for a future purpose. Wether or not this was a vision from God or not I do not know, but to me it makes sense.

Christ's Bloodstained Cloak

You do realize that you are assuming it was white. Maybe it could have been a dark color which would not have shown easily the blood. Keep in mind it was dark and one could hardly see. The other thing is that after his suffering he was beaten more and flogged so everyone would have attributed any blood seen on his garment as being from that and not any prior act.

The part I find interesting is that the Roman soldiers casted lots for His garments when he was ending His time on / near the cross. This means that his garments must have had a value or could have been given to him during several stages of the day (in other words he was stripped of His clothes and given others).

Christ's Bloodstained Cloak Mormon Doctrine Studies

A cloak is usually worn outside other clothes (much like a jacket). If anything was blood-stained, it would have been Christ's robes and loincloth.

Scriptures do teach that when Jesus comes the Second Time, he will be clad in red robes as a symbol of his having trodden the winepress of God's wrath while atoning (see D&C 133:46, 48, 50).
