Three years later when she was 16 she asked a relative to take her to Vancoleurs where she asked the garrison commander Robert de Baudricourt for an armed escort to bring her to the French Royal Court at Chinon.

St.Catherine is one of the most interesting saints I've ever studied because she pursed the study of fine arts and literature.

Her name, Joan of Arc, burning at the stake surrounded by wooden bundles. At this moment of death it was May 30, 1431, tied to a pillar in Vieux-Marche in Rouen, Joan of Arc asked for a crucifix to be held in front of her when she burned. A peasant took pity on her and made a small cross. As she burned, witnesses felt a horrible injustice was put upon Joan of Arc, as she managed to take back France and became one of the greatest war generals France has ever seen. Praising Jesus three times before she died, several people also claim a white dove flew away just as she died. Although Joan of Arc was short-lived, her legacy is still talked about today; 602 years later. She was nineteen years old.

Patron saints have been a big part of the Catholic church for years. They are specific saints that help us through our lives, and who are our guides and friends in heaven. Patron saints intercede for us, and listen to our prayers. There are patron saints for almost everything- countries, professions, companies, parishes, and even for specific people. We also choose a specific saint to be our patron saint at our Confirmation. They are our role models, and we strive every day to be more like our patron saints.

In George Bernard Shaw’s Play, Saint Joan, it was no different. Joan of Arc, a young French women, is on trial in a church court for spreading heresy. In the passage, the Inquisitor tries to convince the church to punish Joan, using a variety of different strategies to appeal to the court. He tries to make members of the court feel guilt, and explain that it would be a great failure

The saint I chose to write a biography on was Saint Joan of Arc or Sainte Jeanne d’Arc in French. She was a French saint who saved France from England and Burgundians during the Hundred Years War (insert citation). I chose her because she demonstrated many characteristics and her story is very unique. She lost her life at a very young age and was only canonized as a saint, hundreds of years after her death. She believed in God so much that it helped her achieve her destiny.
