Torn curtain

Matthew 27:50-51 - And when Jesus had cried out again in a loud voice, he gave up his spirit.

At that moment the curtain of the temple was torn in two from top to bottom. The earth shook and the rocks split.

I wonder who first put two and two together and figured out that the Temple curtain was torn at the same time that Jesus died. It was probably a priest, teacher of the law, or elder, since there were some of these men at Golgotha who would have later discussed the curtain with others who were at the Temple at the time.

I wonder if any of them grasped the significance of it -- that it was no longer needed due to Jesus' sacrifice of himself for everyone.

I wonder if anyone tried to repair the curtain. If so, they obviously didn't catch the significance.
