Holy of Holies


Hebrew, “Qodesh HaQodasimt,” meaning “the sacred of the sacred,” “the inside of the inside,” or “the Sanctuary” a room or place in a tabernacle where God appeared, or temples dedicated to meeting with God.

The Holy of Holies was covered by a veil,[8] and no one was allowed to enter except the High Priest, and even he would only enter once a year on Yom Kippur,[9] to offer the blood of sacrifice and incense.

The Holy of Holies was originally covered by a veil, and only the High Priest could enter, and once a year on Yom Kippur, the Day of Atonement. After the death of Jesus Christ the veil was torn and now all many enter. Coming into the Holy of Holies represents re-entering the Garden of Eden, returning to the Presence of God.
