Joan of Arc Story: A Wonderful Example For Youth To Follow & Carry Their Cross To Eternal Life

"Joan of Arc, St. Joan, the patron saint of soldiers and France, remains the only person to ever be both condemned and canonized by the Catholic Church. Joan of Arc’s short yet extraordinary life has inspired writers, artists, activists, and politicians throughout time. Her story is featured everywhere from First World War song lyrics to a new musical by David Byrne. She rose to fame with her notable military victory on the battlefield at Orléans; however, there are other ways in which her life influenced the course of history.

From her story emerges a persona that millions, Catholics and non-Catholics alike, have come to regard as the embodiment of courage and faith."
