For hundreds of years, people have drawn, painted, and sculpted Jesse Trees to depict the people in Jesus' family tree. In fact, some Jesse Tree art is over 500 years old! Today, the Jesse Tree is usually a branch or tree on which we hang symbols that help us remember the stories of people in Jesus' family tree. The stories represented on the Jesse Tree aren't the only important stories, nor is every Jesse Tree the same, but they are some of the critical stories that tell of God's ongoing faithful action to come near to us. The Jesse Tree is typically a 24-day practice that people can use to prepare for the celebration of Christ's birth at Christmas. It helps us enter more fully into the church season of Advent, which anticipates the coming of Jesus and is a season of expectation. The Jesse Tree provides us with a tangible way to count down and look toward Jesus' coming through the stories of the Old Testament. It's a great way to enter this season!
