Why is the tearing of the veil significant for Christians?

Answered in 1 source

The tearing of the veil signifies the end of separation from God, allowing believers access to God through Jesus Christ.

When Christ died on the cross, the veil of the temple was torn in two from top to bottom, symbolizing that the barrier between God and man was removed. This act revealed that God's justice was satisfied through Christ's sacrifice, opening the way for all sinners to come boldly to the throne of grace. No longer do we need a human mediator, as Christ, our High Priest, has made the ultimate sacrifice, making a way for us to approach God directly (Matthew 27:51, Hebrews 10:19-22).
