The Walk to Emmaus “Walk” is a three-day spiritual retreat that came out of the Roman Catholic Cursillo movement. The Walk to Emmaus is held numerous times during the year at various locations throughout the U.S. and the world. Separate walks are held for men and women, notes LSU’s Todd Shupe, who is also a dedicated Christian ministry volunteer.
Luke 24 tells of two of Jesus’s followers walking to the village of Emmaus. Jesus joins them, although they do not recognize him, and eventually begins to explain all of the scriptures regarding Himself. At nightfall, the men urged Jesus to stay with them and he agreed. He took the bread and blessed it. Then he broke it and gave it to them. Suddenly, their eyes were opened, and they recognized him and at that moment he disappeared! The men returned to Jerusalem to tell their story to the eleven disciples.
