In RE we will be talking about the Messiah and the Jesse Tree.
Jesse Trees date back to the middle ages. Even some ancient cathedrals have Jesse Tree designs in their stained glass windows.
The idea for a Jesse Tree is inspired from Isaiah 11:1, "A shoot will come up from the stump of Jesse; from his roots a branch will bear fruit." (Jesse was the father of King David.)
In Matthew chapter one, the Messiah, Jesus, is traced from the line of King David, and back to Abraham.
We are turning the school Christmas tree into a Jesse tree. Can you make a suitable decoration for it at home too?
