What does the Bible say about the veil being torn at Jesus' death?

Answered in 1 source

The veil of the temple was torn from top to bottom at Jesus' death, symbolizing the removal of the separation between God and humanity.

The tearing of the veil at the death of Jesus, as recorded in Matthew 27:51, signifies a profound theological truth: the barrier between God and humanity has been removed. This veil represented the inaccessibility of God, as only the high priest could enter the Holy of Holies once a year, and even then, only with blood (Hebrews 9:7). The miraculous rent of the veil from top to bottom indicates that God Himself initiated this reconciliation, thus opening the way for all believers to approach Him directly through Jesus Christ. This act fulfilled the sacrificial system and abolished the need for further rituals or human intermediaries.
