Why is the concept of the veil being torn significant for Christians?

Answered in 1 source

The tearing of the veil symbolizes direct access to God through Christ, eliminating the need for intermediary priests.

The tearing of the temple veil at the moment of Christ's death signifies the removal of the barrier between God and humanity. Before this event, only the high priest could enter the Holy of Holies, where God's presence dwelled, and that only once a year. With Christ as our high priest, believers are granted bold access to God through His blood. We no longer require a human priest to mediate; instead, we now approach God directly in prayer, worship, and communion. This change reflects the new covenant established in Christ, fulfilling the promises made through the prophets.
