| “There shall come forth a shoot from the stump of Jesse, and a branch shall grow out of his roots. And the Spirit of the Lord shall rest upon Him, the spirit of wisdom and understanding, the spirit of counsel and might, the spirit of knowledge and the fear of the Lord” Isaiah 11: 1-2
“Abraham was the father of Isaac, and Isaac the father of Jacob, and Jacob the father of Judah and his brothers…and Matthan the father of Jacob, and Jacob the father of Joseph the husband of Mary, of whom Jesus was born, who is called Christ.” Matthew 1: 1-16
The Advent tradition of creating a Jesse Tree comes from the verses in Isaiah and Matthew that speak of Jesse, the father of King David. On each branch hangs a picture of some of the forty-two generations of Jesus’ ancestors from both the Old and New Testaments. The pictures of the Holy Family are often placed at the top.
This kit offers two options designed to make the Jesse Tree project accessible to any family, class or parish. Each paper ornament can be colored by the children for their own personal touch.
Option 1:
Prepare an actual tree with designs from do-it-yourself three-dimensional ornaments.
Option 2:
A Jesse Tree Poster with pre-drawn ornaments to be colored and attached.
This three-piece kit also includes a short history of the Jesse Tree, suggested Scripture verses for each ornament, and a Jesse Tree prayer service.
A perfect match for our Jesse Tree Pewter Advent Wreath .
