Jesse Tree - December 8, 2020 - Day 10
Tuesday, December 8 (Feast of the Immaculate Conception)
Then the angel said to her, “Do not be afraid, Mary, for you have found favor with God. Behold, you will
conceive in your womb and bear a son, and you shall name him Jesus. He will be great and will be called
Son of the Most High, and the Lord God will give him the throne of David his father, and he will rule
over the house of Jacob forever, and of his kingdom there will be no end.” Luke 1:30-33
The angel Gabriel tells Mary she will be the handmaiden of the LORD, mother of
our savior, Jesus. The white lily on today’s ornament symbolizes new life and
resurrection—hope for the future. Read about Gabriel’s visit with Mary and her
response in the Gospel of Luke 1:26-38.
