Joan of Arc: Maid
built 190 days ago
Saint Joan was born on January 6, 1412, in the village of Domremy to Jacques and Isabelle d'Arc. Joan was the youngest of their five children. While growing up among the fields and pastures of her village, she was called Jeannette but when she entered into her mission, her name was changed to Jeanne, la Pucelle, or Joan, the Maid.

Many celebrated actresses have played the role of Saint Joan of Arc on stage and screen. Sarah Bernhardt (numerous occasions), Ingrid Bergman, and Jean Seberg successfully conveyed the power of the Maid, as she was known among her contemporaries, although their scripts may have been cosmetically altered to appeal to a patriarchal society.

Evageline Adams offers this observation via her remarks on the planet Saturn in the earth sign of Taurus, The Bull:

It might well have seemed impossible to attempt the publication of yet another life of St. Joan of Arc unless, of course, one could come up with a translation of the first of all the hundreds of biographies of the Maid. That is what Father Daniel Rankin and Miss Claire Quintal decided to do; they then added, for good measure, a first English translation of a brief but eloquent (... anonymous) chronicle of great moments in Joan's career.
