What tore at the temple in Jerusalem when Jesus died?

Answer 1

A:The gospels say that at the very moment Jesus died, the veil, or curtain, at the entrance to the Holy of Holies was rent from top to bottom ("And the curtain in the sanctuary of the Temple was torn in two, from top to bottom." - Mark 15:38).

Mark might have been using an unreliable source, as Josephus, who would have been familiar with the Temple veil before the destruction of the Temple in 70 CE, describes the curtain and its images and colours in considerable detail (Wars of the Jews, Book 5), but makes no mention of any damage to it, or any repairs.

Another Answer:

God the Father split the Inner Veil down the middle spoken to by Matthew, Mark, and Luke - while referred to several times by Paul in Hebrews.

Answer 2

The veil. A very thick curtain separating the Holy of Holies from the rest of the Temple. The christian interpretation of this event is a sign that now God is directly accessible to all people, no intermediaries like Priests are needed anymore.
