The Jesse Tree is a beautiful Advent tradition that uses the symbolism of leaves on a tree to count down the days until Christmas. The tree is not just any tree - it is the family tree of Jesus. In Isaiah 11:1 you read: A shoot shall come out from the stump of Jesse, and a branch shall grow out of his roots. Each day throughout Advent a different part of the biblical story is highlighted leading us through the Advent season to the birth of Jesus Christ.
