A few weeks ago, we showcased our Jesse Tree Treasures and hosted a giveaway of the beautifully crafted 28 piece set.
Each wooden disk has a beautifully painted image representing the Scripture leading to the Birth of Jesus.
We have been enjoying the process of adding one Jesse Tree ornament a day to our new HAND-made Jesse Tree banner.
I hope to add SEVEN special buttons to the same banner in time for December 17-23, when we add an O Antiphon ornament each day, along with the Jesse Tree ornament. This set of 7 O Antiphon ornaments was another gift from Jesse Tree Treasures.
The O Antiphons each highlight a title of the Messiah:
O Sapientia (O Wisdom)
O Adonai (O Lord)
O Radix Jesse (O Root of Jesse)
O Clavis David (O Key of David)
O Oriens (O Rising Sun)
O Rex Gentium (O King of the Nations)
O Emmanuel.
The first letter of each one (beginning with the last) combines to create the Latin words “ero cras“, meaning
“Tomorrow, I will come.”
…yet another way to express that Jesus is coming soon!
More information about the O Antiphons can be found here.
We also look forward to talking about the Symbols of Christmas and this little gold bag holds TEN of them. I know my kids will like to play with these…I’m pretty glad that the bag has a drawstring for in-between story times.
Another gift from Jesse Tree Treasures!
Once we begin celebrating the 12 Days of Christmas, I will show you another set of treasures! I mention them now, in case you want to get your own set in time for the 12 Days of Christmas!
Go get a better look at Jesse Tree Treasures!
Beautiful truly beautiful and excellently presented. Thank you so much.
They would be totally perfect if the pictures were on both sides of the discs.
They REALLY are beautiful.
I got the square set of the JT Ornaments. LOVE!
Will look into the O Antiphons for next year.
Blessings,
Em
