Matthew 27:51-53

51At that moment the curtain of the temple was torn in two from top to bottom. The earth shook and the rocks split. 52The tombs broke open and the bodies of many holy people who had died were raised to life. 53They came out of the tombs, and after Jesus' resurrection they went into the holy city and appeared to many people.

Why isn’t this more important in the Christian faith? I mean, the people who study the Crucifixion know that the curtain that divided the tabernacle from the normal people was ripped, symbolizing the common man’s access to God through Jesus’ atonement. But who knew that the holy people who had died were raised from the dead and after Jesus was raised first went into the city and appeared to people and then were (I suppose-this is totally extra biblical) taken into heaven with Christ when He ascended? Does this symbolize our new life in Christ and death’s powerlessness over us? Could it? I have a lot of questions about this passage. Tell me what you think!
