The Walk to Emmaus gets its name from the
story in Luke 24:13-35, which provides the central image for the
three-day experience and follow-up. Luke tells the story of that
first Easter afternoon when the risen Christ appeared to the two
disciples who were walking together along the road from
Jerusalem to Emmaus.
