Joan of Arc
Her Legacy
History remembers Saint Joan of Arc as a fearless warrior, a devout visionary, and a symbol of unshakable conviction. As a teenage girl from a small village in France, she rose to lead armies, challenge the status quo, and ultimately shape the fate of a nation. Her story is one of bravery, faith, and an unyielding belief in one’s purpose—an inspiration that continues to echo through time.
A Calling Beyond the Ordinary
Joan was born in 1412 in Domrémy, a small village in France, during the height of the Hundred Years’ War. From a young age, she claimed to hear divine voices—messages from saints instructing her to help save France from English occupation. Though barely a teenager, she embraced this calling with unwavering faith, believing it was her duty to restore the rightful king, Charles VII, to the French throne.
At just 17 years old, Joan convinced Charles VII to grant her an army. Dressed in armor and carrying a banner instead of a sword, she led French forces to a series of stunning victories, including the liberation of Orléans—a turning point in the war. Despite having no formal training, her leadership and conviction inspired soldiers to fight with renewed hope.

Defiance and Sacrifice
Joan’s success threatened the established order, and political enemies sought to discredit her. Captured by the Burgundians and handed over to the English, she faced trial for heresy. Refusing to renounce her visions or her mission, she was sentenced to death and burned at the stake in 1431 at just 19 years old. Though her life was cut short, her legacy endured.
The Legacy of a Martyr and Saint
Joan of Arc was posthumously exonerated and later canonised as a saint in 1920. Today, she stands as a symbol of courage, faith, and resilience. Her story is a reminder that conviction and bravery are not bound by age, gender, or circumstance. She defied expectations, challenged authority, and changed history—proving that even one voice, no matter how young or unlikely, can make a world of difference.
Joan’s journey is not just a historical account; it’s a testament to the power of believing in oneself, standing firm in the face of doubt, and fighting for what is right—even against impossible odds.
