Your cart is empty.Joan of Arc, or Jehanne d'Arc in French, (c. 1412 May 30, 1431) also known as "the Maid of Orleans", was a 15th century virgin saint and national heroine of France. A peasant girl born in Eastern France, Joan led the French army to several important victories during the Hundred Years' War, claiming divine guidance, and was indirectly responsible for the coronation of King Charles VII. She was captured by the English and tried by an ecclesiastical court led by Bishop Pierre Cauchon, an English partisan; the court convicted her of heresy and she was burned at the stake by the English when she was nineteen years old. Twenty-four years later, the Holy See reviewed the decision of the ecclesiastical court, found her innocent, and declared her a martyr. She was beatified in 1909 and later canonized in 1920. She is patron saint of captives; France; martyrs; opponents of Church authorities; people ridiculed for their piety; prisoners; rape victims; soldiers; Women Appointed for Voluntary Emergency Service; Women's Army Corpscity of San Antonio.

This medal was beautiful!! I was hesitant at first about ordering it, but I’m glad that I did. I gave it to my my Goddaughter on her Confirmation and she loved it. I just had to order a sterling silver chain for it because it’s only the medal. Also, I received it a day sooner than expected and that made a difference between giving it to her on her Confirmation or the following day.
