MaidOfHeaven.com celebrates Women’s History Month in March with free resources about Joan of Arc

Joan of Arc website MaidOfHeaven.com celebrates Women’s History Month with free resources. St. Joan was one of the greatest women to ever live and Women’s History Month is a wonderful opportunity to remember her and celebrate her contributions to the world.  Joan continues to be an inspiration and role-model to women today because of the outstanding qualities she exhibited during her brief life.  Famous 19^th century Scottish author and historian Andrew Lang once described Joan as the “Flower of Chivalry” which is a title that probably best summarizes her character.

Women’s History Month was created thirty years ago to help people remember the great achievements and contributions that women have made throughout history.  While there have been many great women down through the ages who have made significant contributions to the world there is none who stands out in quite the same way as Joan of Arc.  Rising from total obscurity to lead her people to impossible victories over the most powerful army in the world at the time Joan achieved a fame that continues to amaze all who hear her story.

In a day and age when it seems that there are no true heroes anymore it is refreshing to remember Joan of Arc and again believe that heroes are possible.  And let Joan be a reminder to everyone during Women’s History Month about all that women can achieve and that women can ultimately be the greatest heroes of all.

This April will mark the 100th anniversary of Saint Joan of Arc’s Beatification by the Roman Catholic Church in 1909. The official pronouncement was issued on April 11, 1909, and a ceremony attended by thousands of people was held at the Vatican on April 18, 1909. A special page at MaidOfHeaven.com has been set up to celebrate that contains a picture of the ceremony, a translation of the official pronouncement of beatification and a copy of a newspaper article from April 19, 1909 describing the ceremony.

Why is Saint Joan of Arc still remembered today? Her life was one that contained great triumph as well as great tragedy and she has inspired people down through the ages with her example of bravery and self sacrifice. Sir Winston Churchill, the legendary leader of Britain in WWII, once wrote of her: “Joan was a being so uplifted from the ordinary run of mankind that she finds no equal in a thousand years.” Mark Twain, the great American writer, described her as “perhaps the only entirely unselfish person whose name has a place in profane history.”

In the official pronouncement by Pope Pius X that was issued on April 11, 1909, the Pope described Joan of Arc as “a witness to divine power, which has chosen what is weak in the world to confound what is strong.” This 100^th anniversary in an excellent opportunity to again remember this amazing women and all that she accomplished in her life.
