Joan of Arc (born on januari 6, 1412 in Domrémy in Lotharingen, France – died in Rouen, Normandië, 30 mei 1431). She believed that she was receiving visions from saints, including Saint Michael, Saint Catherine, and Saint Margaret. These visions, she believed, were commanding her to lead the French armies to victory over the English, who were occupying parts of France during the Hundred Years' War.

In 1429, Joan of Arc led the French army to several victories, including the lifting of the siege of Orléans, a turning point in the war. In 1430, she was captured by the English and their Burgundian allies. She was put on trial for heresy, denied a fair hearing, accused of dressing in men's clothing, claiming to have visions, and refusing to submit to the authority of the church and so sentenced to death. On May 30, 1431, she was burned at the stake in Rouen, France. The death of Joan of Arc was a tragic event in French history. Joan of Arc was canonized as a saint by the Catholic Church in 1920. Her story is a tale of courage, sacrifice, and faith. She is a national heroine of France, and her legacy continues to inspire people around the world.

Quote: Now in 2024, born januari 6 1412, Jeanne d'Arc at the age of 611 years. And she still lives on..

Beaumontois-en-Perigord: Art Photography
The Church of Beaumontois en Périgord, officially named "Église Saint-Laurent-et-Saint-Front", is a stunning medieval church located in the village of Beaumont-du-Périgord, France. It is a remarkable example of a fortified church, blending both Gothic and military architectural styles.

Construction begun at the end of the 13th century and was not finished until the 14th century. The Beaumont Church does not appear to have suffered significant damage during the Hundred Years War or when the town of Beaumont was taken by Protestant troops in 1576, 1585 and 1587. The building is classified as a historical monument, a nice place to visit and to admire its blend of military strength and spiritual beauty.
