I hate to pick nits, but wouldn't his hands have stigmata only after carrying the cross?

I suppose it's symbolism perhaps.

They frequently had foreshadowings and references to important life events in baroque paintings. Those paintings were often showing multiple significant events from someone’s life in one painting, and not so much a snapshot moment.
