Answer: The veil was the heavy curtain in the Temple at Jerusalem which was torn when Jesus died. Matthew 27:51 says, “Behold, the veil of the temple was rent in twain from the top to the bottom; and the earth did quake, and the rocks rent.”

When was the veil lifted?

But it was their minds really which were blinded, for even today when the old agreement is read to them there is still a veil over their minds—though the veil has actually been lifted by Christ. Luke 23:45.

What does the veil has been lifted mean?

: When you lift the veil from something or someone, you reveal what is behind it. So figuratively, it means to uncover some private or secret thing.
