Jesus was wrapped in a shroud after death, as was the custom then. After death, women came to wash the body, then wrapped him in the shroud, then he was buried. So he is often shown with a white shroud billowing around him when Jesus rises from the dead. Note: The washing of the body is a practice hospitals and funeral homes continue today. It is a sign of respect and giving dignity to the person and the person's body.
