This is a popular Advent tradition ( well if you are
catholic/christian although I believe in some Jewish sects there is also a
similar thing for hannukah). A jesse tree named after the father of David is a
tree that is decorated gradually throughout Advent with symbols or pictures of
biblical persons associated with the coming of Jesus. This includes among
others Noah, Abraham, Moses, Joseph and Mary. The creation of a Jesse Tree
serves as a reminder of the preparatory nature of the Advent season.
