What happened to the temple veil when Jesus was crucified?
At the moment of Jesus' crucifixion, the veil in the temple was rent from the top to the bottom, not from the bottom to the top. This signified that no man had anything to do with it; it was an act of God.
Les explains that the veil in the temple in Jesus' day was rent from the top to the bottom at the crucifixion, not from the bottom to the top, signifying that no man had anything to do with it and that it was an act of God. He also notes the veil pictures the very body of Christ, and it kept the presence of God from the view of the priests in their daily ministrations, with only the high priest entering behind it once a year.
