Why is the rending of the veil significant?

Answered in 1 source

The rending of the veil symbolizes the fulfillment of the law and the opening of direct access to God through Christ.

The rending of the veil at the moment of Jesus' death holds deep theological significance. It signifies the completion of the sacrificial system, demonstrating that Jesus has fulfilled the law's requirements. The veil, which separated the Holy Place from the Most Holy Place, was torn from top to bottom, indicating that salvation originates from God and is now accessible to all believers through Christ's atoning sacrifice. This act symbolizes that no longer do we need an earthly priest; through Christ, we have direct access to the Father. This is affirmed in Hebrews 10:19-22, where believers are invited to approach the throne of grace with confidence because of Christ's finished work.
