the Jesse Tree
the "Jesse Tree"
The symbol of the Jesse Tree comes from Isaiah 11:1-2 and reminds us of King David's time when the royal family seemed "cut off at the root" and before new branches grew from the tree's seemingly dead stump and restored His family rule. Today, we also wait for the day when Jesus the Messiah returns. Each day during Advent a new ornament will be added to our Jesse Tree inside the Basilica of St. Michael the Archangel.
