Jesus wore a seamless garment which was removed and the soldiers gambled for it, He was likely naked when crucified, the cross was complete humiliation, as if He needed more. He truly paid the ransom of sinful man.
The Holy of Holies in the Jewish temple is significant to the Jew, because the High Priest was the only one who could enter it. He entered once a year on Yom Kippur (Day of atonement) to burn incense and sprinkle animal blood at the altar. At the moment of Jesus' death, the veil of the temple tore in two, ii was 30ft x 30ft x 30ft and a hand thick. It tore from the top to the bottom, the graves of saints opened and they walked around speaking testimony to all. Try tearing a curtain of those dimensions, it cannot be done, it signifies an ordinary man can now enter in to the Holy of Holies to speak with God because of Christ's sacrifice, and the authority of His name.

Matthew 27:51-52 Then, behold, the veil of the temple was torn from top to bottom; and the Earth quaked and rocks were split. And the graves were opened; and many of the saints who had fallen asleep were raised.
