Jesus's cloak symbolizes comfort. After his crucifixion, Ana dons the robe in order to ease her grieving spirit. While wearing the garment, she feels close to her husband once again, and better able to remember the truth of who he was and what he sacrificed. While wearing the cloak, Jesus's spirit even visits her, a vision which reminds Ana her husband will never really leave her.
