Charles Spurgeon Commentary Luke 23:45

"the sun`s light failing: and the veil of the temple was rent in the midst." — Luke 23:45 (ASV)

And the sun was darkened, and the veil of the temple was rent in the midst.

As if the great light of heaven and the pattern of heavenly things were both disturbed. The sun puts on mourning, and the temple rends her veil in horror at the awful deed enacted on the cross.
