In the early Christian centuries, converts were baptized naked. Did you know that? Now that would perk up a Sunday morning worship service!  And they put on white robes when they came up out of the water.  It was a sign that they had literally put on Christ like a garment.  They wore those robes for a period as a reminder of who they were and what they had done.  We, like they, are the Christ-bearers of our world, carrying Christ with us wherever we go.

Note: This is true. For validation of this you can go to this CT article. It reads in part: By the early 200s, baptism often included renouncing Satan and all his works, making a statement of faith, being baptized (naked) in water, being clothed in a white robe, receiving anointing with oil, and immediately celebrating the Lord’s Supper.
