Christ as depicted on the cross

Although , the making of a cross and putting Jesus Christ hanged in that cross  is not biblical and even a humiliation to him, allow me to make some facts contrary to what is being depicted on that cross.

As it is always being seen in many Catholic Churches, Jesus is clothed with a scarlet robe or a towel wrapped around his waist.  This is not the true that while he was hanged on that cross he is  wearing a robe or a towel wrapped around his waist.

If you are going to read MATTHEW CHAPTER 27, verse 31, it says""" AFTER MOCKING HIM , THEY STRIPPED HIM OF THE ROBE AND PUT HIS OWN CLOTHES ON HIM , THEY LED HIM AWAY TO CRUCIFY HIM.

In the above verse, it is apparent that beforehand his clothes was removed and replaced by a robe as it is written on MATTHEW CHAPTER 27, verse 28. """" they stripped of his clothes and put a scarlet robe  on him."""

Later on ,immediately prior to him hanging to the cross , that scarlet robe was removed and replaced it with his own clothes.  That means while he was hanging on that cross , what he was wearing was his own clothes and definitely that is not a scarlet robe because that is not the usual dress in ISRAEL  at that time.

However, immediately after Jesus was hanged , the JEWS have stripped him of his clothes and divided that clothes into themselves .   This is reason why MARY, MARY MAGDALENE  and many other women were standing far away from that cross . 

If this is the case , Jesus was hanged on the cross NAKED until the time when  a certain rich man arrived by the name of  JOSEPH who have Jesus removed from the cross and was wrapped in a clean linen cloth.

I only wish that the catholic hierarchy should totally removed all those CROSS where Jesus is being portrayed wearing that robe, not because it is wrong , BUT BECAUSE IT IS PROHIBITED BY GOD that  we make graven images and adore that images. The sad thing is because we are hardheaded , we force the issue that we have to create an graven images of Jesus hanging on the cross, but since we cannot portray Jesus hanging on that cross naked,  we circumvent the commandment by putting to him a robe, just to force the issue that we must create an graven image for him.
