Jesse Tree - December 20, 2020 - Day 22

Sunday, December 20 (Fourth Sunday of Advent)

...Elizabeth, filled with the holy Spirit, cried out in a loud voice and said, “Most blessed are you among

women, and blessed is the fruit of your womb...” Luke 1:41-42

Mary travels to visit her cousin Elizabeth, who has conceived a child in old age

through a miracle. The child in her womb, John the Baptist, leaps with joy when

Mary, pregnant with Jesus, arrives. Our ornament today celebrates the

motherhood shared by these women. The story can be found in Luke 1:39-56.
