The House of Abraham is part of the Renaissance style and is a testimony to half-timber architecture. The latter is decorated, in the corner, with a sculpted pillar which has made its reputation: the corner post on which the Tree of Jesse is sculpted, representing the Virgin and eight kings of Israel. ...

There is a representation of the so-called “ROOT OF JESSE” in Christian art: starting with Jesse (also called Jesse), the father of the famous Israelite King David, a family tree unfolds from branch to branch up to Mary, the Mother of God with Jesus Christ .
* The biblical source for this image motif in the Old Testament - also called the Hebrew Bible - is the book of Isaiah, in which the prophet predicts a future Messiah: "But from the stump of Jesse a shoot grows, a young shoot from its roots bears fruit." (Isa 11:1).
* In the books of the New Testament, Matthew begins his version of the Gospel - the word means "Good News" - with the genealogy of Christ: "Book of the Origin of Jesus Christ, the son of David, the son of Abraham...Jacob fathered Joseph, husband of Mary; From her was born Jesus, who is called the Christ.” (Matthew 1:1.16)
