The Jesse Tree is a fun Advent activity that helps keep Advent and Christmas together. It helps you remember different verses from the ornaments. It tells the story from from Abraham to Jesus. The symbols represent stories in the Old Testament of either an ancestor of Jesus or a prophecy foretelling his coming. The concept is based on The Bible passage Isaiah 11:1- 2, which says, "But a shoot shall sprout from the stump of Jesse, and from his roots a bud shall blossom. The spirit of the Lord shall rest upon him: a spirit of wisdom and of understanding, a spirit of counsel and of strength, a spirit of knowledge and of fear of the Lord." The branches of the tree begin at the bottom, represented by Jesse and end at the top with Christ. Matthew 1:1-16 presents the family tree from Abraham to Jesus, and Luke 3:23-38 chronicles from Jesus back to Adam.

A Jesse tree (or a Jesse window) is a representation of Christ's human genealogy. It is in the form of a many branched tree with Jesse (the father of King David) as the root, the various branches representing the main characters in Christ's genealogy and Christ at the top.
The Jesse tree is a common stained glass motif, especially in churches, because of its Christian meaning. The Jesse tree is considered the original family tree, as Jesse is the father of King David. The symbolism of the tree notates the birth of the Messiah.
The Jesse Tree is a diagrammatic representation of the ancestry of Jesus Christ. The diagram takes the form a tree that has Jesse of Bethlehem (father of King David) at its roots and Jesus Christ at the top of the tree. Other ancestors occupy the branches. A number of famous examples exist, the oldest of which is the Jesse Tree Window in Chartres Cathedral.

The Jesse tree is used as a symbolic way to retrace the genealogy of Jesus Christ, starting from Jesse (father of King David) to Jesus. Each ornament or symbol represents a different biblical story or figure in salvation history, helping to prepare for the celebration of Christmas and connect the Old Testament with the New Testament.
