Joan of Arc's legacy of faith and courage

Joan of Arc remains a significant historical figure and a symbol of France and courage worldwide. Born in 1412, she became a central figure during the Hundred Years' War by claiming to receive divine messages to assist in restoring the French throne.

Despite lacking formal military experience, she successfully led troops during decisive moments, including the liberation of Orleans. Her legacy is characterized by her inner strength, faith, and conviction, exemplified by her sentiment: ‘It is better to be alone with God. His friendship will not fail me, nor his counsel nor his love.’
