Creative activities and ideas based on the biblical figure of Cleopas (of Emmaus - disciple)

Cleopas was one of the two disciples who met Jesus on the road to Emmaus on the day of his resurrection. According to the Gospel of Luke, Cleopas and another disciple were walking to Emmaus when they encountered a stranger who began walking with them. The stranger explained the scriptures and broke bread with them, revealing himself to be Jesus. Cleopas and the other disciple rushed back to Jerusalem to tell the apostles what had happened. Cleopas is not mentioned in any other biblical accounts, but his encounter with Jesus on the road to Emmaus remains a significant story in the Christian faith.
