What was the 'Most Holy Place' or the 'Holy of Holies'?

The Holy of Holies was the innermost place in the temple. It was separated from other portions of the temple by a thick curtain and housed the ark of the covenant, where God's presence symbolically dwelt. The high priest entered once a year, on the Day of Atonement. When Jesus died on the cross, the curtain—or veil—tore from top to bottom. Now all who trust in Him have direct access to God.
