curtain (veil) / curtainsA cloth that is hung over a doorway or window. The word veil was used most often in the New Testament a term that had to do with the curtain or the veil that separated the Holy place from the Holy of Holies where only once a year the High Priest could enter. DTP When Christ died on the cross the veil was torn from the top to the bottom (Matt 27:51; Mark 15:38; Heb 6:19), symbolizing that all may enter into God's presence by the blood of Jesus Christ. We could come into the very presence of God Himself because of the redemptive, redeeming work of Christ.
