Jesus was wrapped in clean, linen swaddling cloths in the same way newborn lambs destined for sacrifice in the Holy Temple were wrapped at birth. They were wrapped in cloth held by strips of cloth. The swaddling was intended to keep the lambs protected, unblemished, and unharmed. Swaddling is still used today to wrap newborns, make them feel secure, keep them warm, stop them scratching themselves, and make the transition from the womb easier.
