 The Reign of St. Jeanne by Geisha_Girl
No sign of fear did flicker,
Her faith held her brave heart.
The flames were lit, as her heart was broken
with a cross within her, looking up to the sky.
In the name of God, she died.
...She bravely fought
Like a thousand arrows they struck her heart
Frightened for a truth, yet far from their comprehension;
Hate was the assassin, ignorance was the weapon
..."save me your speeches, I know...
You'll kill me for sure.
What you want you will take away from me,
Take it and I know for sure,
The light God once brought in is gone forever more"...
Too late, and hopeless, they cried,
Lost in the light that her misty soul brought,
Widely it covered the land,
And vanished forever in time.
After they fell in new horror,
Sadness reign,
And spilled the first tears.
When the sweet Saint was slain...
...but even in silence,
Some heard the words:
"an oath thou shall swear
In the Name of God, 'till the world ends."
..."Oh, Jesus, my Lord, hold me in Thy hands,
Take away this pain,
Caused not by the flames,
But by the fear of a broken heart"...
And so her heart was safe,
And the pain flew away...
In a last whisper, she cried,
"Thank you, my Lord,
Now let me die,
Let me rest at last,
Let my soul fly high,
Straight to your arms..."
...In the name of God, she died...

The cult of Joan of Arc is an extraordinary myth, based around a revolutionary "Child of the people" , saviour of the monarchy and of the divine order, patriot betrayed by the church's elite. Leave a Comment Directions: In front of Hotel Regina, in case you "fall" on it by chance !!

You will find statues of Joan of Arc throughout the city. (See my Notre Dame entry). If you catch a glimpse of this Golden masterpiece on Rue de Rivoli when the sun hits it the right way you will appreciate the beauty of this work.
For all you history lovers:
It is believed that Joan of Arc was inspired by a choir of angels to save France from British conquest. Joan led the Valois troops to victory at the Battle of Orleans before being captured by the English and burned at the stake for heresy. Patron saint of France.
The following site contains more information regarding Joan.

Most (if not all) churches have a statue of St Joan of Arc. They are all very beautiful, and make you stop and reflect on the struggle the French people went through to create the France of today. Leave a Comment Directions: In Notre Dame Cathedral and St Paul St Louis Church
