Betrothal of Mary and Joseph Advent Jesse Tree Metal Tree Decoration

This radiant Jesse Tree ornament features The Betrothal of the Virgin Mary and St. Joseph by the Baroque master Peter Paul Rubens. The tender scene captures the sacred moment when Mary, pure and full of grace, is espoused to the humble carpenter chosen by God to be her protector and the guardian of the Christ Child. Rubens’ warm tones and expressive faces draw the viewer into the mystery of divine providence unfolding through this holy union. In the painting, the Blessed Mother bows her head in serene humility while St. Joseph receives her hand in reverence—a covenant sealed by faith and obedience. The gold frame surrounding the artwork adds a timeless elegance, while the reverse side bears a soft blue background with the inscription: “The Blessed Virgin Mary, St. Matthew 1:18.” A beautiful addition to any Catholic Jesse Tree, this ornament celebrates purity, trust, and the sanctity of marriage, inviting reflection on how God’s plan of salvation begins in quiet faithfulness.
