they would tie a rope around his wast so if he dies in the Temple they can pull him out In the Second Temple period, some people who were unfit took the position of High Priest. When they entered the Holy of Holies on Yom Kippur, they died, since they lacked the ability to handle the spiritual power of that place. The other priests had to devise a plan to pull the dead body out, since no one other than the High Priest was allowed to enter in the Holy of Holies. So they tied a golden rope to the High Priest's leg when he entered the Holy of Holies on Yom Kippur. Those waiting outside the Holy of Holies would listen for the bells on the bottom of the High Priest's robe, to see if he was still alive.

Pilgrimage - a journey to a sacred place. In the times of Old Testament, under the Law of Judaism, proper worship of God could be performed in only one place: The Temple of Solomon in Jerusalem. There, in the Holy Land, in the Holy City, in the Holy Temple, in the Very Holy of Holies, where only the High Priest could go, could sacrifice be made to God for the pennance of the people of God. When Jesus Christ died on the cross, He said "It is Finished" - the veil (to the Holy of Holies) was rent in two. Access to God was never again limited to the High Priest in this one place, but granted to all men who confess Jesus Christ as Lord - and take Him as their personal Savior. the observing Jews made pilgrimage once a year to Jerusalem. Some Christians would like to do the same. It is not neccessary. We no longer live under the Law but by Grace through Faith.
McDonald brothers - priests - died on 1899-12-31.
A:The gospels say that at the very moment Jesus died, the veil, or curtain, at the entrance to the Holy of Holies was rent from top to bottom ("And the curtain in the sanctuary of the Temple was torn in two, from top to bottom." - Mark 15:38). Mark might have been using an unreliable source, as Josephus, who would have been familiar with the Temple veil before the destruction of the Temple in 70 CE, describes the curtain and its images and colours in considerable detail (Wars of the Jews, Book 5), but makes no mention of any damage to it, or any repairs.Another Answer:God the Father split the Inner Veil down the middle spoken to by Matthew, Mark, and Luke - while referred to several times by Paul in Hebrews.
There are about 4,500 priests in Ireland but the numbers are falling quickly due to a high number of deaths and a low number of ordinations. For example, only 9 priests were ordained in Ireland in 2007 (when 162 priests died). This is a shockingly low number of ordinations especially given the relatively high proportion of the population that goes to church. In Sweden, where about 5% of the population goes to church and which has double the population of the Republic of Ireland, over 50 priests were ordained into the Church of Sweden in the same year. Of course, the Church of Sweden allows the ordination of married men and women. Time for the Catholic Church to wake up and allow the same.
Three Holy Hierarchs died in 379.
Around 45% to 50% priests died. Hope this helps :)
Unfortunately, this question was kind of stated incompletely, but if I understand it correctly, "What does the veil being torn signify when Jesus died?" The Templ: In the temple or tabernacle (depending on where you are) you have the regular sanctuary and the holy of holies. Nobody is allowed into the holy of holies because that is coming into God's presence. But why are we not alowed into the holy of holies? Because we are sinful. We are so sinful and God is so perfect that He can't have us in his presence. To give you a picture, your mom would never under most any circumstances allow you into the house with muddy shoes unless you took them off. But what if you personally couldn't take them off? You'd never come in the house! The only way to fix this little problem was to place a veil there. Why Did Jesus Die: Jesus died so that we might live. How does that make sense? I think that we all can agree that we are sinners. No doubt about it. God has a penalty for sin and that is eternal seperation from God. But God isn't only just, He is also merciful. God wanted us to come home to Him, so He had His one and only Son die for us so that we might spend eternity with Him. If our sins are taken care of, we then can have a close and intimate relationship with God. The Veil: So, if the veil was there to keep us from God because of our sins (figuratively, of course), then why was the veil torn when Jesus died. "IT IS FINNISHED!" IT IS DONE! FINNITE! No more sepperation! The death penalty has been taken care of and now we can be with God.
There were many 'priests' around in that time... all from the tribe of Levi (as commanded in the Old testament). None of these, including the chief priests, are mentioned by name in the Gospel accoun t of the trials. However, the HIGH priest - the chief of all the priests, was mentioned. He was Caiaphas (pronounced Kigh - a - Fass) and it was he who led the Jewish trial against Jesus.
