The icon

It’s known that one of the two disciples is named Kleopas [Κλεοπᾶς]. It is not clear who the second, unnamed disciple is. We have taken the freedom to interpret the second disciple as a woman. (For the possibility that this may be a certain Maria, the wife of a Klopas [Κλωπᾶς], see John 19.25. The name Kleopas is native to Greek; the name Klopas likely has roots in a Semitic language context, Hebrew and/or Aramaic. However there may well have been more than one person known to Jesus called Kleopas/Klopas. Still, it is well within the realm of possibility that Kleopas in Luke 24 is the same individual called Klopas in John 19. Therefore the second disciple on the road to Emmaus may in turn be Maria, his wife.)

The font

For the logo we use the font called Rosetta Greek, created by Kris J. Udd. It is based off of the ancient Greek inscription found on the Rosetta Stone. The font, along with a number of others, can be downloaded free of charge for personal or educational use.

The Rosetta Stone is housed in the British Museum, in London, and may be viewed free of charge. This stela was found in the Nile Delta region. Dated to 196 BCE, it contains inscriptions in three languages: Hieroglyphic, Demotic and Greek.
