For me, this great act of the tearing of the Veil, is both one of personal gratitude (as you have shared) for the casting off the shackles of sin's bondage & entering into the Holiest Place, & also one of great sadness. Sadness, because the priests who saw this Divine Act coupled with an earthquake, yet refused to bow before the One whom they crucified. Rather they schemed to have the stone covering the entrance to Jesus' sepulchre guarded lest "the last error shall be worse than the first"( Mt 27:64). They knew they had done a great wrong & even to this day "when Moses (the Law) is read, the veil is upon their hearts"( 2 Cor 3:13-17). Such is Satan's work - BUT greater is Jesus' Sacrifice.
