Jesse Tree at the Christmas Tree Festival in Holyhead

The Christmas Tree Festival in St Cybi, Holyhead is in full swing.... It is open from 10:30am-3:30pm each day up to and including Christmas Eve.

Each year, I put in a very small Jesse Tree which is dwarfed by the wonderful contribution of other trees and quite rightly so. The Jesse Tree is, in some ways, symbolic of the family tree of Jesus.


This is why each carving symbolises a story. There is an arc for example and a coat of the technicoloured variety. The tablets of the decalogue are there too.


There are others of course, some well known and some not. A bit like our own family tree

It is well worth a look, and a wonder and wander around one of the most ancient, and perhaps holiest buildings in the port town of Holyhead.
