What is the Jesse Tree?
The Jesse Tree is the tradition of using a set of ornaments symbolizing the coming of Jesus; a way to help prepare our homes and our hearts for Christ on Christmas day.
The Jesse Tree gets its name from the prophecy of Isaiah 11:1, "And there shall come forth a rod out of the root of Jesse, and a flower shall rise up out of his root." The Tree of Jesse follows the genealogy of Jesus in such a way as to show that Jesus springs from the root of Jesse. The last seven days of this Jesse Tree set follows the O antiphons, or titles for the Messiah.
The Jesse Tree starts on December 1st and goes through Christmas Eve.
This set has small pieces and is not suitable for small children left unattended.
Due to the handmade nature of these ornaments, each set may have slight variations in beads and color.
