* The song "The Robe" depicts the quest of the escaping Christian Knights after the siege of Jerusalem, who were trying to find a safe hiding place for the robe used to wrap Christ's body following the Crucifixion. The Robe is also a novel about the Crucifixion written by Lloyd C. Douglas, from which several concepts and ideas were used.[2]
