On the Road to Emmaus and Damascus

The New Testament records two similar encounters of individuals with the risen Christ that both take place while travelling. The first one is found in Luke 24 while two unnamed men are travelling on the road to Emmaus. The second, and more momentous, event is when Saul (later known as Paul) is struck blind while on his way to Damascus to persecute the Christians there (see Acts 9, 22 and 26 for parallel accounts of this encounter).

The technique used for the collages picturing these stories is akin to that used in a cartoon strip, with separate panels for each unfolding phase of the tale.
