# The Seamless Tunic of Christ

In the Cave of Treasures the tunic taken from Christ at the Cross is a royal garment. It is purple, and Pilate will not let him be dressed in ordinary clothes, only in purple or scarlet, so that he may be known as a king. The book takes the scarlet to stand for blood and life and the purple for water and mortal nature. The tunic has no seam and is woven whole in one piece.

The Jews and the soldiers of Herod and Pilate struggle over it because of its beauty. The centurion guarding the Cross says his orders forbid tearing royal dress and makes them cast lots, and it falls to one of Pilate's soldiers. Wherever it was kept it brought rain when lifted toward heaven. Pilate later takes it by force and sends it to the Emperor Tiberius. The book reads it as a sign of the Orthodox Faith, which cannot be divided.
