Joan of Arc – Brave and Bold

23 April 2012 By: Marlene9 Comments

Looking at the statue of Joan of Arc was enough to describe the life she lived and the kind of woman she was. A woman who could barely write her name believed that she was hearing God’s voices. Her story struck me in a way that she used her visions to help fight for her land. She was a religious warrior and knight but in the end she was convicted of heresy. Burned at the stake.

She was declared innocent after the posthumous retrial. She was canonized by Pope Benedict XV on May 16, 1920 and since then became popular as a saint of the Roman Catholic Church.

Joan of Arc - Paris

We had the chance to see this golden bronze statue of Joan of Arc (Jeanne d´Arc) at the Rue de Rivoli – Place des Piramides in Paris. It is said that a copy of this statue was given to the city of New Orleans.

    That is quite a beautiful and majestic statue. It is indeed quite sad what happened to her though. Quite tragic.

      And the way they punish people who committed crimes before was horrible. I could not imagine seeing a person being burned in a stake.

      Yes, indeed. So sad it’s hard to find a Joan of Arc in our present times.
