This triptych is for the waystation at Belsey Bridge Conference Centre at Ditchingham near Bungay. It was made by members and friends of the Via Beata, at a special ‘hands-on weekend’ in June 2011.
It is based upon events which took place after Jesus’ death and resurrection. He joined two of his grieving disciples as they walked from Jerusalem towards the village of Emmaus. They failed to recognise him and continued their gloomy conversation. Jesus explained from the scriptures how all the events of the previous days fitted in with what the prophets had foretold in the scriptures. Once they had reached Emmaus, they persuaded him to join them for supper. It was when he broke the bread that they recognised him (see Luke chapter 24).
At the same ‘hands-on weekend’ in June, the waystation shelter was installed at Belsey Bridge to house this artwork.
