Jesse Tree

Jesse Tree: A 25-day Biblical countdown to Christmas!

This Biblical advent “countdown to Christmas” features 25 wool applique ornaments. This Jesse Tree wall quilt was designed to create a beautiful family Christmas tradition by reading daily scripture and decorating your very own Jesse Tree to count your way down to Christmas.

The Jesse tree helps us connect the custom of decorating Christmas trees to the events leading to Jesus’ birth. Jesse was the father of King David with the name “Jesse tree” coming from scripture: Isaiah 11:1: “A shoot shall come out of the stock of Jesse, and a branch shall grow out of his roots.” The stitched ornaments for our Jesse tree represent the well-loved people, prophesies, and events leading up to the birth of Jesus and tell the story of God in the Old Testament, connecting the Advent season with the faithfulness of God throughout the Bible.
