Jeanne d'Arc


Today is the anniversary of Joan of Arc's martyrdom in 1431. She was only 19 years old. Though short, her life has continued ability to inspire. There is much information available about her, including transcripts from her trial which reveal a lot about her childhood. This site includes many links to resources. There is a beautiful movie of her life available online and on DVD.

This picture is Joan of Arc Kissing the Sword of Deliverance by Dante Gabriel Rossetti
