The Tearing of the Veil of the Temple from the top to the bottom by God is discussed in all three of the synoptic gospels. Mark Ray examines this passage from Luke 23:45 and explores the meaning of this event. The tearing of the veil signified the end of the Old Covenant and the Beginning of the New, showed that God has removed all barriers between himself and mankind through Jesus Christ, and shows God's fervent desire to bring us near to him.
