Here is today’s Bible reading:  Numbers 15:17-16:40; Mark 15:1-47; Psalm 54:1-7; Proverbs 11:5-6. 

Mark 15:38 (NIV)
The curtain of the temple was torn in two from top to bottom.

I heard an interesting perspective on this verse from the Brian Hardin of the Daily Audio Bible.  He learned in Israel that in addition to this being symbolic of our access to the presence of God in the holiest place, it is taught by some that it is also symbolic of the Jewish practice of one tearing their clothes in agony over the death of a loved one.  The image is that of God the Father tearing His clothes in sorrow over the loss of His Son.  Interesting.
