What is the Jesse Tree?

Origin

Bible Hands

The Jesse tree represents Jesus' family tree. The name is taken from Isaiah 11:1, in which Jesus is referred to as a shoot coming up from the stump of Jesse, the father of David.

The ornaments on the Jesse tree tell of Jesus' ancestors, and of the events leading to Jesus' birth.
