O Emmanuel Renaissance Christian Art Jesse Tree Metal Tree Decoration

This O Emmanuel (“God with us”) ornament features Ercole de’ Roberti’s exquisite 15th-century painting The Institution of the Eucharist, a Renaissance masterpiece depicting the moment Christ gives Himself to His disciples under the forms of bread and wine. The scene beautifully embodies the longing of the final O Antiphon before Christmas: “O Emmanuel, our King and Lawgiver, the expectation of the nations and their Savior: come to save us, O Lord our God.” Marked on the reverse with “December 23 – O Emmanuel,” this piece is the penultimate ornament in the Jesse Tree and O Antiphon Collection—just one more follows to complete the full Advent set. A contemplative devotional accent for Christmas preparation, it also pairs beautifully with sacred art and Eucharistic themes. When your Jesse Tree and O Antiphon set is complete, look for the upcoming Twelve Days of Christmas Collection in the shop to continue celebrating the season through Epiphany.
