What is the significance of the veil being torn in two?

Answered in 1 source

The tearing of the veil signifies that believers now have direct access to God through Christ (Matthew 27:51).

The tearing of the veil in the temple at the moment of Christ's death, as described in Matthew 27:51, symbolizes the removal of barriers between God and humanity. Previously, the veil separated the Holy of Holies from the rest of the temple, indicating that direct access to God's presence was restricted. However, through Christ's sacrifice, this veil was torn, signifying that believers can now enter boldly into the presence of God. This event emphasizes the completed work of Christ, establishing that the way to God is open, and affirming the believer's ability to approach God in worship, prayer, and communion without need of an earthly priest.
