I am pretty sure the real one is in Ethiopia. What makes me think that is after hundreds of years of Kings and different rulers including the Nazis, nobody has even challenged this by storming the church where it is suppose to be. Another thing is the Ethiopian treasurer that was in Jerusalem at the time of Jesus. Had he heard the King of the Jews, the Messiah, had appeared and was there to verify so he could deliver the Ark? Jus sayin.
The veil in the Temple being torn, as a reaction to Father God's grief for the separation from His Son, can also be seen as a completion of the Old Testament ritual of only one priest being allowed in, once a year, to the New Covenant allowing all that are covered by the blood of the sinless sacrifice access.
as a reaction to Father God's grief for the separation from His Son
No, the veil was torn because at the time, the high priests held centralized control over access between the 'holy' and 'most holy,' places. The veil was rent the moment Christ died on the cross, symbolizing that our separation with God was at an end
In eternity, put a spot on your calendar for me! I don't want this to be a distraction here on earth. I understood that was outlined by the law God handed down to Moses and the ripping of ones garments was a cultural display of grief. Regardless, veil torn, access granted :), Have a great Saturday!
