The curtain is closed and who knows what he is doing in the dark, no even a shadow is cast on the window wall to clarify that he is working for our good, we are completely blank on the outside, and we can't see him, besides how can we access him? let's tie a robe on his waist so that the next time he enters the secret place we won't have to strain our eye to look through the blank curtain that doesn't even give us access.

Curtains have long held significant, symbolic and functional roles in various cultures and religions. In Christian theology, one of the most outstanding images involving a curtain is the tearing of the temple veil at the moment of Christ's death on the cross, In movies or dramas when the phrase "Curtain closed" is used it means a scene just ended.

A curtain is used in covering any open space of a building, I justify this by telling you that both the one that covers the door and the window are all known as a curtain, it beautifies the house on the inside and another aim is to make what happens in a room invisible to outsiders or passers-by, that is why I would go with this phrase which I coined "close the curtain and die in silence", what I mean is if a curtain is dark and closed and we are attacked from the inside we can die without anyone's knowledge. It has an advantage and a disadvantage as everything on earth will always do.

In the Jewish tradition, the holiest place was the temple in Jerusalem, and it is the Holy of Holies, a sacred chamber where God's presence was believed to dwell. This inner sanctum was separated from the rest of the temple by a massive thick curtain. The Holy of Holies was too holy to let people view the intercession the priest made on their behalf, so a curtain was covered to obstruct their view, a thick dark curtain, a shadow was not cast because even the fire from the incense was not bright enough to cast the shadow for the people to know when the priest is cut off from the living.

If you are a bible scholar or even if you are not, in one way or another you have come across a bible story that speaks of the value of Christ's sacrifice on the cross, the curtain stopped us from gaining access to God to the Holy of holies to the intercession sit, to a closer relationship with God, we had a priest who role was played behind the curtain, we never saw how it was done but we all know it has always been done behind the curtain(the hindrance) the curtain was a hindrance but the main hindrance was sin, because a filthy man can never behold not to talk of gaining access.

What happened to the curtain has great significance today in the Christian religion, at the moment of Christ's death the curtain was torn, this one event has brought us freedom, we can easily access the intercession sit through prayer, we could now communicate with God as friend with friend, the access has been granted, we no longer need a highest priest because Christ, the son of God has given us full access by his sacrifice on the cross.

I would love to see entries from @roselove and @hahdie

Me has paseado por la historia antigua y biblica de los cuales no me había percatado sobre las connotaciones y significados históricos de la cortina. Esto me hizo recordar tiempos más recientes de la Humanidad como la Cortina de Hierro, símbolo de un nefasto régimen y algo más actual como la Cortina de Humo que distrae a los mas incautos de los hechos de la corrupción humana.

Gracias por compartir, saludos y éxitos.

Wow, that amazing, I have not heard of the iron curtain before can you give me a little briefing

Si amigo, se remonta a la segunda guerra mundial donde Europa quedó divida entre el bloque Occidental (capitalista) y el bloque Oriental (comunista), el famoso Muro de Berlín. Creo que la expresión "Iron Curtain" se le atribuye a Churchill, primer ministro británico de la época.

Saludos.

What a nice way to take us through the meaning of the word curtain.

It is truly not just a piece of material hanging from a window or closing the stage of a curtain.
For me, it never symbolized death but the new beginning. We just need to open it.

Good luck with the contest!

Actually the Curtain doesn't symbolise death for me too, but a beginning of a new phase engineer by death, this is related to Christianity, Jesus's death made the curtain tore to give us a new chapter, an access to eternal blessings. I am happy you read through and you love this entry, thanks for adding value to my post with your amazing comment.
