Joan of Arc Day celebrates a French girl named Joan who, long ago, believed she received messages from God to help save her country. She was very brave and led the French army to important victories during a war. Sadly, she was captured and died when she was only 19 years old. People admire her courage and strong faith. Every year on May 30th, people in France and some other places remember Joan's heroic deeds and how she stood up for what she believed in, even when it was really hard. She became a symbol of bravery and faith.
