As a result of his fall Adam/man lost his robe of glory/ light, and God gave him a garment of skin (Gen 3:21) as a symbol of weakness, vulnerability and sinfulness. This tradition is carried on in the Judeo-Christianity of Mesopotamia among Syriac-speaking Christians. They developed a specific theology of The Robe, the main idea of which influenced other Christian traditions. Through the Incarnation, Christ puts on Adam/man and receives his garment of skin. At his baptism in the Jordan, Christ puts on Adam's/man's lost robe of glory/ light. Likewise, each Christian at his own baptism puts on Christ (Gal 3:27), that is, he puts on the robe of glory/light.
