      <title>Joan of Arc's 600th Birthday and the Significance of Her Birth on the Epiphany</title>
      <link>http://www.releasewire.com/press-releases/release-3.htm</link>
      <description><![CDATA[<div class="newsleft"><div class="newsbody"><p class="subheadline">The 600th anniversary of Saint Joan of Arc’s birthday will be next week on January 6, 2012, and author Ben D. Kennedy has released a paper to celebrate this special anniversary that details the significance of Joan of Arc’s birth on the Epiphany.</p><p>Louisville, KY -- (<a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.sbwire.com/">SBWIRE</a>) -- 01/02/2012 --  In only few days on January 6th of 2012 it will be the 600th anniversary of Saint Joan of Arc&apos;s birth and there will be worldwide celebrations to honor Joan and remember the brilliance of her life.  What a contrast to the humble way that she entered the world as a simple peasant baby born in an obscure little town.  As author and Joan of Arc biographer Ben D. Kennedy explains:  "When Joan was born no one paid any attention as she was just another peasant child born in an obscure little village.  No one then had any idea that this little baby girl would become one the greatest military leaders in history and still be loved and remembered 600 years later."  <br />
<br />
However, Kennedy says that the timing of Joan of Arc&apos;s birth on the Epiphany was actually a sign foretelling the brilliance of her life and her ultimate mission. As a way to celebrate Joan&apos;s 600th birthday Kennedy has written a paper discussing the exact timing of Joan&apos;s birth on the Epiphany.  The paper is titled "Saint Joan of Arc:  A Brilliantly Shining Light of God" and explains the significance of Joan&apos;s birth on this special day of celebration in Christian tradition.  [For those who don&apos;t already know the celebration of the Epiphany in Christian tradition refers to the revelation of God to man in the person of Jesus Christ and is celebrated on the twelfth day after the birth of Christ on January 6.]<br />
<br />
"It is amazing that so little attention has been given to Joan&apos;s birth on the Epiphany by the great writers who covered Joan&apos;s life like Shakespeare, Schiller, Bernard Shaw, Twain, etc.  Her life&apos;s story contains so many other supernatural references and yet no one seems to have understood about the timing of her birth" says Kennedy.  "I hope my paper will open a few eyes and I thought the 600th anniversary of her birthday would be the perfect time to write about this."  <br />
<br />
Joan of Arc lived for only nineteen years but the brilliance of her life has continued to inspire people down through the ages and she has been the subject for some of the greatest writers and artists in history.  She was the youngest person in history at only seventeen to command the armies of a nation.  She won two of the greatest victories in all of military history at Orleans and Patay.  Despite her military success she was ultimately captured by her enemies and convicted in a rigged trial for heresy and burned at the stake where she died at the young age of nineteen.  Throughout her life she maintained her faith in God and was ultimately rewarded in 1920 when she was canonized a Saint by the same Church that had once condemned her to death by fire.  She continues to be one of the most beloved people in all of history. <br />
<br />
January 6, 2012 will mark the 600th anniversary of Joan of Arc&apos;s birth.  <br />

Kennedy goes on to explain how the birthday of Joan of Arc is a great time to remind people about the significance of Joan of Arc&apos;s life.  "Joan of Arc is probably the most famous women to ever live and her great deeds continue to inspire people today. Her birthday anniversary is a chance for people to remember her and celebrate her life and history.

      <title>Joan of Arc Memorial Day</title>
      <link>http://www.releasewire.com/press-releases/release-3.htm</link>
      <description><![CDATA[<div class="newsleft"><div class="newsbody"><p class="subheadline">The anniversary of the death of St. Joan of Arc on Sunday May 30th is memorialized at Joan of Arc website MaidOfHeaven.com</p><p>Louisville, KY -- (<a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.sbwire.com/">SBWIRE</a>) -- 06/03/2010 --   Sunday May 30th will mark the 579th anniversary of the death of St. Joan of Arc.  MaidOfHeaven.com remembers Joan of Arc on this day with a special page dedicated to her and the inspiring way that she met her death.  This special page at MaidOfHeaven.com contains actual eyewitness descriptions of Saint Joan of Arc during her last moments on earth.  <br />
<br />
Why is Saint Joan of Arc still remembered today? Joan&apos;s life was one that contained great triumph as well as great tragedy.  She was put in command of the French armies at only seventeen years of age and she was able to completely reverse a war that had been going on for almost 100 years that the French were about to lose.  In spite of saving her country, Joan was ultimately captured by her enemies and burned as a heretic because of their great fear of her as a leader. The story of Joan&apos;s life has inspired people down through the ages with her example of bravery and self sacrifice. Mark Twain, the great American writer, described Joan as "perhaps the only entirely unselfish person whose name has a place in profane history." Sir Winston Churchill, the legendary leader of Britain in WWII, once wrote that: "Joan was a being so uplifted from the ordinary run of mankind that she finds no equal in a thousand years."  Andrew Lang, famous Scottish author and historian in comparing Joan to William Wallace said:  "She was the bravest of the brave."<br />

      <title>Joan of Arc And Women's History Month 2010</title>
      <link>http://www.releasewire.com/press-releases/release-3.htm</link>
      <description><![CDATA[<div class="newsleft"><div class="newsbody"><p class="subheadline">MaidOfHeaven.com celebrates Women's History Month 2010 with free resources all about St.  Joan of Arc </p><p>Louisville, KY -- (<a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.sbwire.com/">SBWIRE</a>) -- 03/24/2010 --   Joan of Arc website MaidOfHeaven.com celebrates Women&apos;s History Month with free resources. St. Joan was one of the greatest women to ever live and Women&apos;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 19th 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.  <br />
<br />
Women&apos;s History Month was created thirty years ago to help people remember the great achievements and contributions that women have made throughout the history of the world.  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. <br />
<br />
Joan of Arc lived for only nineteen years but the brilliance of her life has continued to inspire people.  Joan was the youngest person in history at only seventeen to command the armies of a nation.  She won two of the greatest victories in all of military history at Orleans and Patay.  Despite her military success she was ultimately captured by her enemies and convicted in a rigged trial for heresy and burned at the stake where she died at the young age of nineteen.  Throughout her life she maintained her great faith in God and ultimately was rewarded in 1920 when she was canonized a Saint by the same Church that had once condemned her to death.  <br />
<br />
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&apos;s History Month about all that women can achieve and that women can ultimately be the greatest heroes of all.  <br />

      <description><![CDATA[<div class="newsleft"><div class="newsbody"><p class="subheadline">A free preview of best selling Joan of Arc biography Maid of Heaven is available online at Google Books.</p><p>Louisville, KY -- (<a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.sbwire.com/">SBWIRE</a>) -- 01/27/2010 --   Maid of Heaven: The Story of Saint Joan of Arc is a best selling and critically acclaimed biography by Ben D. Kennedy about the legendary historical figure Saint Joan of Arc covering her entire life.  Now with help from Google Books a little of the inside of Maid of Heaven can be previewed online providing everyone with a glimpse of the unique nature of this distinguished book about Joan of Arc. Every page contains exquisite border art displaying the life of Saint Joan in a way that enhances the understanding of the poetic verse contained inside the book. There are also seventeen full page historic paintings of Saint Joan by famous artists interspersed throughout the book covering the major events in Joan&apos;s life as described in the narrative. <br />
<br />
Joan of Arc lived only nineteen years but the brilliance of her life has continued to inspire people. Joan was the youngest person in history at only seventeen to command the armies of a nation.  She won two of the greatest victories in all of military history at Orleans and Patay. Despite her military success she was ultimately captured by her enemies and convicted in a rigged trial for heresy and burned at the stake where she died at the young age of nineteen.  Throughout her life she maintained her great faith in God and ultimately was rewarded in 1920 when she was canonized a Saint by the same Church that had once condemned her to death.  <br />
<br />
Once people see a little of Maid of Heaven they have a much better understanding why this particular book about Joan of Arc has been hailed by Joan of Arc aficionados around the world as a must read for anyone interested in learning all about Joan and the incredible story of her life.  Virginia Frohlick the founder of the St Joan of Arc Center in Albuquerque, NM, explained how she "devoured it in one sitting" and "was impressed by his clever English prose that was able to combine actual historical fact and the words spoken by Joan of Arc herself." Chris Snidow, the leader of five St. Joan of Arc Pilgrimages in France, proclaimed:  "I&apos;ve read many books about France&apos;s Patron Saint, Joan of Arc, but never seen one like Maid of Heaven . . . Mr. Kennedy does an amazing job of putting such a lyrical story into captivating lyrical form."  Sergio Vargas of San Cristobal Antiques Fine Art in Puerto Rico called Maid of Heaven: "An epic flash back that watered my eyes. . . I did not expect this breathtaking story." <br />
