EMMAUS, the town were Jesus was said to have appeared following his resurrection, may have been discovered by archaeologists.

In the Gospel of Luke from the New Testament, Jesus appears to two followers soon the road to the town, though the exact location of the town has remained a mystery. As reported by The Daily Beast, fourth-century theologian Eusebius of Caesarea suggested Nicopolis as the destination. Luke says Emmaus was 60 stadia (4.3-6.8miles) from Jerusalem but Nicopolis was more than twice this distance.

A joint team of French and Israeli archaeologists began excavation work at Kiriath-Jearim in 2017.

The hill is several kilometres to the west of Jerusalem and its’ elevated position made it strategically important.


In the Bible, Kiraith-Jearim is supposedly where the Ark of the Covenant was held before King David moved it to Jerusalem.

The Ark of the Covenant is a gold-covered wooden chest containing the stone tablets of the Decalogue.

Hebrews 9:4 says: "The ark of the covenant [was] covered on all sides with gold, in which was a golden jar holding the manna, and Aaron's rod which budded, and the tablets of the covenant."

Archaeologists thus believe this is the site of Emmaus.

In a forthcoming article in New Studies in the Archaeology of Jerusalem and its Region, Tel Aviv University’s Israel Finkelstein and College de Frances Thomas Romer argue walls found at the site date to the Maccabee and Seleucid conflict.

During this conflict, Seleucid leader Bacchides ordered the construction of a ring to guard Jerusalem.

Mr Romer says these are the only known large-scale fortification works undertaken in this period.

1 Maccabees 9:50 and first century historian Josephus gave a list of towns fortified by Bacchides.

Most of the sites have been identified and excavated, but neither list refers to to Kriath-Jearim, but both mention Emmaus.

Other suggestions to the location of Emmaus proposed through history included al-Qubeiba, but no records have been found referring to the town as Emmaus has been found.

Abu Ghosh located has also been another candidate, but became less popular after Nicropolis was suggested.

Jesus revealing himself in Emmaus to two disciples is found in Supper at Emmaus, an iconic painting by Italian Baroque artist Caravaggio.

The resurrection of Jesus is commemorated annually at Easter.

Good Friday remembers his crucifixion and death.

Easter Sunday commemorates his resurrection.

Mary Magdalene is said to have visited his tomb only to discover it was empty.

Christianity is the world’s largest religion.

It is estimated by some sources to have 2.4billion followers.

The success of the Reformation lay in freeing people from the spiritual slavery of Rome, where the bones of saints and counterfeit fragments of the Holy Cross had become an industry. The profits from this paid for the ruinous and brutal Crusades (and the beginning of Islamophobia).

The reformers offered a purer and less unequal route to heaven and the mercy of God, unencumbered by profiteering, exploitation and superstition. It wasn’t just a theological revolution, but a temporal one, which seemed to say that you didn’t need to wait until you entered paradise to experience equality and fairness.

If there’s a cardinal sin to be made.....
