Joan of Arc
1412 — 1431 · Feast day: May 30
Joan of Arc, a peasant girl from Domrémy, claimed the voices of saints commanded her to save France. At seventeen she led French forces to lift the Siege of Orléans in nine days, then escorted the Dauphin to his coronation at Reims. Captured in 1430 and burned for heresy in 1431, she died calling out the name of Jesus.
