The first symbol being hung on the Jesse Tree
On Monday 4th December we began one of our Advent traditions – the Jesse Tree Assemblies.
During the season of Advent we take a look at Jesus’ ancestors, from the creation and Adam and Eve right through to Mary and Joseph. Following listening to the story or watching a cartoon about one of Jesus’ ancestors we hang a symbol on the Jesse Tree to remind us of the lesson we can learn from that particular person.
What starts off as a very bare tree at the start of Advent soon becomes a full and colourful tree before we break up to celebrate Christmas.
