Jesse Tree Advent Calendars make the perfect Christmas gift and are a wonderful way to share the gospel. Families can have fun counting down the days until Christmas with with this Jesse Tree biblical advent ornament set. With this DeluXe Jesse Tree set you will receive a beautifully illustrated book and a mason jar filled with 25 ornaments. We also include a reading list to follow, so you know which ornaments are to be read on which days and the chapter in the book associated with each ornament. If you already own the book, please ask about our coupon to remove the book from your order. The mason jar has been decorated with a “Merry Christmas” tag and doubles as a vase. Our family gathers sticks each year and we place them in the jar to use as our “tree”. Each day, your family can read the provided Scripture passage and engage with a specially written devotion to help children of all ages understand the Advent theme for the day. In addition to the daily reading, each day a corresponding ornaments is to be hung on your Jesse Tree. This is a fun way to teach children and adults alike about the ministry and lineage of Jesus Christ. These make a wonderful gift for a very special holiday tradition. Jesse Tree Ornaments arrive wrapped with tissue and tied with ribbon. Perfect for gift giving. Please remember each item is handmade so it is possible for some slight variation. The tradition of using the Jesse Tree each year is to be a reminder as to what the true meaning of Christmas is. This Jesse Tree Set is to be used in the same way you would use the traditional Christmas Advent Calendar. There is an ornament for each day in December through Christmas Day. Each ornament represents a story from the Bible. These stories help to walk you through the Bible. Starting with the story of creation and ending in the birth of Christ, each ornament helps tell the story of God’s plan to give us the gift of forgiveness and salvation through Jesus his son. I came across the idea to make a Jesse Tree for my family a few years ago. I have found that it is the perfect way to teach children and adults alike the true meaning of Christmas. Near the end of November we will gather sticks and trim them to the right size to make our tree. Acting as a vase, we use the Mason jar to hold the sticks. Each day in December leading up to Christmas Day, we will read a story from the Bible and my kids will place one of these ornaments on our Jesse Tree.
