This was in the Temple of Jerusalem. The Holy of Holies was the innermost room of the Temple that contained, among other things, the Ark of the Covenant of the Israelites. It was in this room that the Jews believed God dwelt and consequently only the high priest was able to enter this room, and then only on a special day once a year. The room was separated from the rest of the temple roooms by a long, heavy curtain, woven in one piece, that symbolised the division between God and humans. At the death of Christ, the gospel writers record that there was an earthquake and the curtain of this temple was torn in two from top to bottom - a very symbolic event for the Jews as this symbolised that at Jesus' death and his salvation for us all, the curtain separating man from God was no longer there - and that the relationship between humans and God was restored.
