And it was about the sixth hour, and there was a darkness over all the earth until the ninth hour.
All Commentaries on Luke 23:44 Go To Luke 23
Ambrose of Milan
AD 397
The veil is torn. This declared the division of the two peoples or the profanation of the mysteries of the synagogue. The old veil is torn, so that the church may hang the new veils of its faith. The veil of the synagogue is taken away, so that we may see the inner mysteries of religion with unveiled eyes of the mind. Even the centurion confesses the Son of God whom he had crucified.
