The Jesse Tree is a beautiful Advent Devotional that many Catholic Families use during the season of Advent. But, what is the Jesse Tree...and is there a way to use this devotional that is EASY and MEANINGFUL for Catholic families? I strive to answer both of these questions in this video.
First of all, the Jesse Tree is a walk through the ancestors of Jesus Christ, starting with Adam and ending with Jesus Himself. Each day of Advent is assigned a different character from Jesus's family tree (the Jesse Tree) and the family will spend time looking at that character through some Bible Verses and a symbol that is often portrayed on an ornament that is hung on the tree.
If you would like to use the Jesse Tree with your Catholic Family this year, I encourage you to download and use the FREE QUICK START GUIDE TO THE JESSE TREE. It lists all of the characters, verses to read for each and a symbol as well.
You can grab the guide right here: pages.convertkit.com/4b39e2c3...
But, many families struggle with the Jesse Tree once they get into weeks two and three of Advent. The characters aren't very familiar, and the verses can be lonnnnnggg. However, I have discovered, that they REAL point of the Jesse Tree is NOT to memorize all of these characters from the Old Testament. The point is to get to know GOD THE FATHER so that we are ready to welcome His Son on Christmas, Jesus Christ.

Thanks for watching! Please let me know in the comments if you have done the Jesse Tree with your Family before, and how it went!
I did the Jesse Tree one year, although only for me, as my particular devotional. Each day I watched a video, read the Bible and colored an ornament. The activity I joined was thought for children, but I learned so much!!
I always get so much out of what we do for our kids!!!
Never done the Jesse tree before. I had never heard of it until last year when my really good friend told me about it. This is our first year.
Thank you Nancy for this very comprehensive explanation about Jesse Tree.
Thank you so much for the Jesse tree teachings.
That mid-advent drag is REAL! I have done it the last two years with my daughter, but last year I was pregnant (had my baby December 15th!) So the exhaustion was legit.
I’m ready this year!
Thank you for this video! ♥️
Great Video, thankyou! sending love from Nancy Allen from the UK!
We do the Jesse tree, and yes, consistency lags after the first week or so. Sometimes we have to play catch up and do three or more ornaments at once, or skip the reading and just "an ounce the ornament of the day. Hoping to do better about that this year, but even imperfectly, it's a wonderful Advent devotion.
We’ve done it for 7 years but I don’t think we’ve gotten all the way through it ever.
Hi, Nancy! Thank you! I'm from Brazil and i enjoy your video.
Awesome video!!!! 💜
Thank you for this video! I have been trying to do the jesse tree for years now. I often times give up. I think I know have a better understanding of why to do it! Which will motivate me to make it a priority! As always Nancy you did a great job articulating the point of the tradition! I am excited to start Advent prepared and motivated!
I can’t wait to add the Jesse Tree to our advent this year! Thank you Nancy for all of your hard work! You have definitely made this somewhat daunting task super easy. Can’t wait to get started!
Thank you going to try this for the first time
Thanks for the video! We’re going to try it for the first time this year! Wish us luck!
Thank you! I love the idea of this tradition but I've struggled to connect my kids to it. This seems like a great way to draw them in!
Great explanation ! It is a struggle to get it all in & be consistent, but so worth it to push through or even do some not all!
Thank you so much. Honestly I feel helped personally with all the catholic sprouts thing. God bless you always. We need something like this in Spanish 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
We may try the Jesse Tree this year but I'm trying to learn more about it. This was helpful. So glad to find another Catholic youtube mama! New subscriber here!
hi i love your vidoy
Thank you for your video, but at 2:38, it sounded like you said Jesus came from the "Masonic" line. I think you meant to say the "Messianic" line.
Where did you get your tree? super nice! Thank you for sharing, starting the Jesse Tree for the first time this year with my little ones.
This will be our first year doing the Jesse tree! I’ve seen 2 different ways of doing it: one with all people from the Old Testament and the other with Dec 17-Dec 24 based off the O Antiphons. Is there a right or wrong one? Or is it preference? I’m trying to get prepared! :)
No wrong way!!! I want to try the O Antiphon one soon!
