Joan of Arc Feast

The second Sunday in May is the feast of Joan of Arc. That day commemorates the liberation of Orleans on 8 May 1429 by the French army under her command.

There's a beautiful golden statue of the Maiden on Rue de Rivoli near the Louvre Museum, here is a lesser known one in front of the stunning Saint-Augustin church.

As always, Jeanne is holding her sword, ready to fight! And if you go inside the church, you will see another statue of Jeanne, as in many many churches of France...
