This curtain separated the Holy Place, where incense sacrifices were offered daily,from the Holy of Holies. The Ark of the Covenant was there until the first temple (Solomon's temple) was destroyed. In spite of that, it was still considered the place where God was present.
At the moment of Jesus' death, the temple was torn in half. This is mentioned briefly in Matthew, Mark, and Luke. It was what prompted me to write The Temple Curtain which is an excellent book to read at this time of year. So I have a 40% off sale now on this website.
