The early yearsThis short passage from the life of Joan of Arc known as the Maid, daughter of France, the witch (named by her enemies) was from a small village of Domremy in eastern France, came from a poor peasant family. She learned neither to write nor to read and spent her childhood in the pastures, absorbed in prayer in church. Joan was the youngest of five. It grew up in the middle of an internal conflict between the Armagnacs, governed by Dauphin, Duke Charles (future King Charles VII of France), and the Burgundians allied with the English led by Duke Jean and his son Philippe III, who accepted the claim from the throne of France by King Henry V. At the age of thirteen, she heard voices very close to her predicting something about her future and that of France. Joan later recognized them individually as Saint Michael, Saint Margaret and Saint Catherine. They gradually revealed to him in the name of God the mission to help the Dauphin and defeat the English on French soil. His leadership, allegiance and faith in God helped him lead the French army to carry out the recommended holy mission without fear until his death. .The audience at ChinonJoan said that her Lord had asked her to go to Duke Charles and convey to him the message of the salvation of France with her as leader of the army in a great military campaign in the name of God and to sing him as king in the cathedral of Reims. She asks her uncle Duran to take her to see a local commander (captain) who remains loyal to Charles and asks permission and an escort to go see the Duke in Chinon, but the commander does not. not believing in his words and having received the order to return home, she insisted on recounting... middle of paper... the trial that led to her death. She never abandoned her faith and remained loyal to her country. The trial was revised twenty-four years later because popular feeling was that the trial was unfair and that a holy person had been burned. This time, the court appealed and questioned witnesses led by the pope. , and ironically reverse and annul the sentence pronounced by the Cauchon presidency. She was beatified in 1909 and canonized as a saint in 1920 by Pope Benedict XV. Every year in May, residents of Orléans celebrate Liberation Day when the city was liberated by real French troops led by Joan of Arc, citizens and guests gathered in the cathedral and listen to a mass in her name, delegations pass for the historic site in a theatrical group of horsemen led by a woman in knight's armor, all these acts demonstrate the undead love that people still have for Saint Joan.
