Chrysalis is the growth stage between caterpillars and butterflies. While on the surface it may look like nothing is happening, the delicate process changes a caterpillar into a butterfly with wings and beautiful colors. This symbolizes that through dying to self, Christ can transform us into something beautiful. We must open ourselves to Jesus for this transformation to occur.
Chrysalis is the name chosen for the Youth Walk to Emmaus because it symbolizes faith growth in the lives of youth - the spiritual growth that is necessary between adolescence and adulthood. It is a crucial time of maturing faith for discipleship.
