The Vail
And he made a vail of blue, and purple, and scarlet, and fine twined linen: with cherubims made he it of cunning work. Exodus 36:35
The vail with cherubim guarded the Most Holy Place like the cherubim guarding Eden. Hebrews teaches that the vail is Christ's flesh, and it tore when He died, opening the way back to God.
