The Temple Veil was torn in two, from top to bottom, denoting that God had accepted Jesus death on the cross as an acceptable sacrifice for the remission of sin (hence, the Passover Lamb). Jesus, acting as our spiritual High Priest, made an acceptable attonement on Passover. Therefore, there was no longer a need to have a veil separating God from man.

When Jesus died and spilled His blood, brought it to the Mercy Seat in Heaven, it forever did away with the need for sacrifices in the temple. Also, it opened the courts of heaven to anyone who believed in Christ and accepted the sacrifice He made for their sins. Now God's presence was open to all who believed, whereas before, only the High Priests could access God's presence, and then only once a year. The veil represented the barrier sin brought between man and God. Jesus's death on the cross broke down that barrier.

The answer to your question is given in Mark's gospel, Chapter 15:37-38, "And Jesus cried out with a loud voice, and breathed His last.

This "veil, woven of blue, purple, and scarlet thread and fine linen....with an artistic design of cherubim" according to Exodus 26:31-34 which ws originally in the Tablernacle (the travelling tent of Worship) until replaced by Temple built in Jerusalem, served the purpose of dividing the Temple into two parts: The HOLY PLACE, where the priest entered with incense and shewbread in the usual acts of worship, and the MOST HOLY PLACE, where the High Priest alone entered once a year with the specified sacrifice, for himself and the sins of the people, behind the veil where the ark of the Covenant was placed. The Spiritual significance of the veil being torn at Jesus' sacrificial death, "from top to bottom"indicating an act of God, not men, is shown in detail especially in Hebrews 9:6-24,that through Jesus Perfect Sacrifice of self, as the Lamb of God, had opened up the one and only way to Heaven for mankind.

Scholars say that Luke's Gospel was substantially copied from Mark's Gospel, so the author discovered this from Mark We can not say where the author of Mark obtained this information, especially as the temple veil was not visible from outside the temple and certainly not from the crucifixion site. This raises the question of whether the veil, or curtain, was really torn. The Jewish historian, Josephus, was also a priest and would have been familiar with the Temple veil before the destruction of the Temple in 70 CE. His description of it makes no mention of the damage supposed to have occurred to the veil when Jesus was crucified.Josephus says (Wars of the Jews, Book 5), "It was a Babylonian curtain, embroidered with blue, and fine linen, and scarlet, and purple, and of a contexture that was truly wonderful. Nor was this mixture of colors without its mystical interpretation, but was a kind of image of the universe; for by the scarlet there seemed to be enigmatically signified fire, by the fine flax the earth, by the blue the air, and by the purple the sea; two of them having their colors the foundation of this resemblance; but the fine flax and the purple have their own origin for that foundation, the earth producing the one, and the sea the other. This curtain had also embroidered upon it all that was mystical in the heavens, excepting that of the [twelve] signs, representing living creatures."
