St. Joan of Arc (JM 28) Car Flag

St. Joan of Arc, the “Maid of Orleans”, is patron saint of women who serve in the military. In this depiction, her military career is emphasized. St. Joan is clad in contemporary 15th-century plate armor and shoulders a sword in a scabbard ornamented with fleur di lis. The fleur di lis, a stylized lily, is a motif rich in heraldic, political, and religious significance. + Feast: May 30 + Image Credit (JM 28): Antique image of St. Joan of Arc, originally published in chromolithography by Josef Müller Art Publisher, Munich and New York, first quarter of the 20th century, from the designer’s private collection of religious ephemera.
