Was the curtain in the Jerusalem temple repaired after the death of Jesus?

A:The gospels say that at the very moment Jesus died, the veil, or curtain, at the entrance to the Holy of Holies was rent from top to bottom ("And the curtain in the sanctuary of the Temple was torn in two, from top to bottom." - Mark 15:38).

The Temple veil, or curtain, was described in considerable detail (Wars of the Jews, Book 5) by the historian, Josephus, who was a priest before 70 CE and would have been familiar with it. Josephus makes no mention of any damage to it, nor any evidence of repairs, as anyone familiar with the gospel account would expect.

The gospel account was actually written after the destruction of the Temple in 70 CE and could therefore be expected to be the last Word on the tearing of the veil, so it is only fortuitous that someone who knew about the appearance of the curtain before that time, chose to write in so much detail about it.
