About Saint Joan of Arc Feast Day
Women , Military
Ends: May 30, 2025
DESCRIPTION:
Joan of Arc was a teenage girl who led a French army against the English, who were invading. She is said to have visions from God and thus inspired an entire army of men to follow, not just a woman, but a young girl into battle. She was captured, tried for heresy, and burned alive in 1431. In 1456, she was proclaimed innocent, and in 1920, she was canonized as a saint.
Her feast day falls on the anniversary of her death, May 30, 1431. She was only nineteen.
WHY SO MANY FEAST DAYS?
Have you ever noticed that there seem to be feast days for just about everything in the Catholic and Orthodox Christian faiths? There is a reason for that. The church granted feast days to allow all subjects of the Crown to take a day off. As most worked six days a week, feast days provided a break that landowners and nobility couldn't deny. If they tried, they were going against the church, and that you did not do.
In medieval times, there were approximately 60 feast days a year. Add this to 52 Sundays, Christmas, and Easter, and workers received a minimum of 114 days off a year. Contrast that to today. The average American gets 104 weekend days and seven national holidays off work. That's three days less than the commoners of the Dark Ages, just in case you're feeling a little overworked.
