In ancient Israel, it was the one day of the year when the High Priest was allowed to go into the holiest part of the temple, carrying a blood sacrifice which he would present at the Ark of the Covenant.
As the temple and its system of animal sacrifices is long since gone, modern Jews use the festival today to focus on the principles behind it instead.
