Imagine walking the paths where disciples once trod, their hearts heavy with the events of the crucifixion and the mystery of the resurrection. Emmaus Nicopolis is believed to be the site where, after Jesus’ resurrection, two disciples encountered the risen Christ in a life-changing encounter. This encounter transformed their doubt into unwavering faith, and breaking bread in recognition of Christ became an enduring symbol of communion.

“As they talked and discussed these things with each other, Jesus himself came up and walked along with them; but they were kept from recognizing him.”
