The Jesse Tree |

What is the Jesse Tree?

I found myself constantly looking up the Jesse tree information, such as which ornament to use for a certain day and the topic order for the devotions. I knew I needed a central location for this information, and here it is!

Entries for symbols are linked to my Zazzle stickers for the Jesse tree ornaments (except for the Joseph’s coat,linked to a coat-shaped ornament); entries for the days are linked to the Jesse tree devotionals of 2011. You can find the scriptures in the translation version of your choice at BibleGateway.

How to make and set up your Jesse tree.

Have you asked “I’m not sure I want to make my own Jesse tree and the ornaments for it, are there quality ones I can buy?” I have made ornaments at Zazzle, in two different styles, and a set of stickers which can be used to make your own ornament crafts. I suggest using the large size stickers in the round shape, but you have the choice of shape and sizes at Zazzle.
