The traditional meaning of that event is that with Christ's death the payment for our sins was made and that God could once again dwell with man.
The veil was what separated the inner temple where God dwelt from the portion accessible to everyone. Only the priests who had been ritually purified of their sins could enter past the veil.
Once Christ paid the price of our sins for us, we all became acceptable in the eyes of God and the veil was unnecessary.
