Notes:

The village of Emmaus is on a hillside with a grove of trees in the foreground at the bottom of the hill.; The photograph is in a book with a typed description. The description: "(Luke, xxiv:13.)--The Emmaus represented in the picture is one of the villages making special claim to be the place where Christ made himself known, after his resurrection, to his disciples. The particular Emmaus given in the above illustration is about five miles from Jerusalem, on the road to Jaffa. There are some noble old olive trees here, and there is an air of repose and restfulness about the place which somehow falls into line with our feelings as to the kind of place Emmaus ought to be. The village is built up near the top of the hill and in quietness and grace conforms very well to the beautiful and divine life that was made known to the disciples, in the breaking of bread, in this immediate locality."; The photograph was not catalogued by Lazard--it was catalogued at LKCAJS.; Condition: Good
