Jesse Tree Printable Kit Updated Version!
This Jesse Tree kit is based on a 24 day design, starting from the 1st December and ending on Christmas Eve. This means that it can be reused each year. Over the 24 days, the Jesse Tree will take you on a journey through Salvation History, from Creation all the way through to the Nativity of the Lord. Learn about biblical figures including Jacob, Moses, Esther and Solomon, reading their stories and how they point to Christ.
The Jesse Tree as an artistic concept has been around since the middle ages, where it was a popular custom in large homes to have a piece of artwork depicting the family lineage of Jesus, featuring imagery of the Stump of Jesse. Back in that time, when status and social class were more important than they are today, the Royal lineage of Jesus was greatly emphasised. The Jesse Tree as an Advent practice has only existed since the latter half of the 20th Century but has its roots in this much older artistic trend. The Jesse Tree leads you through Salvation History, starting with Creation, going through the Old Testament and culminating in the birth of Jesus Christ, our Saviour.
This printable kit contains:
24 full-colour Jesse Tree ornaments
24 colour-in mini ornaments (black and white)
A 24 day devotional booklet with the reading references, a short synopsis and reflection prompts for each day
Instructions
In addition to this kit, you will need:
A branch/collection of sticks/twigs/branches or something to hang the ornaments on
Scissors
A hole punch or skewer to make holes in the decorations for hanging
String to hang the ornaments (if you are downloading this as a printable)
A Bible (the verses on each ornament correspond to most translations apart from some older translations where the Psalms may be different)
You will also need a PDF reader on your computer. I recommend printing on card for durability!
PLEASE NOTE THAT THIS IS NOT A PHYSICAL PRODUCT. AFTER PURCHASE, YOU WILL HAVE ACCESS TO A DIGITAL FOLDER FULL OF THE RESOURCES.
For personal, parish and school use only. For other uses, please email emma@tanglewoodatelier.co.uk
