No, I had no idea either
This was something I'd not heard of before I thought I'd better go and have a look.
I didn't go round all the trail as the weather was cold, grey and damp.
Here are a few photos, not in the right order and much too much reflections in windows but you'll get an idea of the variety of art mediums used.
Certainly something different.

Very different. I've never heard of that either. It's obviously a thing; there are plenty of Google links. I rather like it.

I first came across them in 2008. I made a simple one which we hung in the church, and it aroused a lot of interest. https://angalmond.blogspot.com/2008/12/more-about-jesse-tree.html
ReplyDeleteI've never heard of that before. I think I ought to move to a town which embraces art, nothing like that here.
ReplyDeleteI have not heard of this, but it looks like a good idea, something different to hopefully draw in the crowds to the heart of a village or town, rather than the out of town shopping centres.
ReplyDeleteSomething really different. It was nice to see Joseph in a different light.
ReplyDeleteWe had a lovely sunny day yesterday but today back to rain. My daughter us taking me to Waddesdon today to see the Manor all decorated up, at least it is in the dry.

I've never seen anything like that! What a lovely idea.
ReplyDeleteNew to me too. Was there some significance to all the works being round?
ReplyDeleteWe have set up a Jesse Tree in our church for a number of years. The ornaments are made by the Children's Liturgy class many moons ago. Our youngest parishioners love to look at it and have the ornaments explained to them.
ReplyDeleteGod bless.
Another good reason to 'shop local'. Much more fun than shopping online.
ReplyDeleteI've not heard of a Jesse tree art trail before but I would enjoy following it around the town. Trying to photograph window displays is really hard with the reflections always getting in the way. You did really well. Thank you for your comment on my blog.
ReplyDeleteInteresting.... -smile-

I've never heard of Jesse Trees before either and had to Google it. Looks like they have been around a lot longer than I have!!
ReplyDeleteJust lovely.
ReplyDeleteThis is new to me but it is a wonderful way to celebrate the season with works of art.
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely idea. I've never heard of it before, but a wonderful way to tell the Christmas story and for artists to demonstrate their talents.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing! I love these art trails. I must admit that I saw a lot of the elephants in Ipswich while visiting mum this summer
ReplyDeleteGreat - I'd never paid much attention to the Jesse Tree, it was confused with the Tree of Life in my mind.
ReplyDeleteI love this sort of thing. Thanks for sharing and teaching me something new.

I love this sort of trail around the shops, something Garstang my soon to be hometown does really well.
