The Passion of Joan of Arc Home Vision Cinema and The Criterion Collection are proud to present the home video premiere of the original version of Carl Dreyer's The Passion of Joan of Arc. We are honored to have for this special edition of The Passion of Joan of Arc - Richard Einhorn's brilliant orchestral piece Voices of Light. He rejected the original script in favor of the actual transcripts to Saint Joan's trial, he built extravagantly realized sets and shot all of his actors without make-up to lend a purity and realism to his film which, to this day, has never been equaled. www.1worldfilms.com /passionjoanarc.htm

How Can Saint Joan Play a Role in Our Lives Today? In my humble opinion I believe Saint Joan of Arc is even more important for us today than she has ever been since the time of her Canonization. Joan of Arc's experience was a spiritual "mountain top" that few are blessed with during the course of history. Saint Joan of Arc stands for FAITHFULNESS AND LOYALTY. www.stjoan-center.com /FAQ/question4.html   (716 words)

SAINT JOAN Joan of Arc, a village girl from the Vosges, was born about 1412; burnt for heresy, witchcraft, and sorcery in 1431; rehabilitated after a fashion in 1456; designated Venerable in 1904; declared Blessed in 1908; and finally canonized in 1920. This is Joan's lesson to The Church; and its formulation by the hand of a priest emboldens me to claim that her canonization was a magnificently Catholic gesture as the canonization of a Protestant saint by the Church of Rome. Joan got a far fairer trial from the Church and the Inquisition than any prisoner of her type and in her situation gets nowadays in any official secular court; and the decision was strictly according to law. gutenberg.net.au /ebooks02/0200811h.html   (17014 words)

Saint Joan It was inspired by the canonization of Joan of Arc in 1920, nearly five centuries after her death in 1431. The play's epilogue concerns the overturning of the church's verdict of heresy in 1456 and her canonization. As a superior being "crushed between those mighty forces, the Church and the Law," Joan is the personification of the tragic heroine; her martyrdom embodies the paradox that humans fear--and often kill--their saints and heroes. www.britannica.com /nobel/micro/734_12.html   (148 words)

The PHILIP QUAST Guide - Stage - Plays - Saint Joan Joan of Arc, born in 1412, was burned at the stake in 1431, canonized by the Catholic Church in 1920, and, like most saints, whitewashed by history. Shaw's Joan, like the real Maid of Orleans, leads the fight to drive the English out of her native France, insists on direct communication with her God instead of submitting to the mediation of Catholic priests, and refuses to dress, speak, or act according to traditional notions of how women were expected to behave. In 1957 a memorable movie version of Shaw's Saint Joan was produced, based on a screenplay by Graham Greene. www.allthingsquast.info /career/stage/plays/stjoan.htm   (443 words)

P.O.V. - In the Realms of the Unreal . "The Frightful Storm" (Excerpted from 'Henry Darger: Art and Selected Writings') PBS The historical individual who would seem to have had the most obvious influence on the formation of his Vivian Girls was St. Joan of Arc, who was very much in the news prior to her canonization in 1920. The character Vivian in Arthurian legend is an enchantress, the mistress of Merlin, the famed Lady of the Lake. The Vivian Girls do not lead armies into battle as did St. Joan in 1428, but do go on spying expeditions, and they are living symbols for their country and the Christian cause. www.pbs.org /pov/pov2005/intherealms/special_writings_02.html   (711 words)

NTU Info Centre: Joan of Arc After the execution of the Maid of Orleans, there were number of impostors who claimed to be Joan, having escaped from the fire. Her official beatification came in 1909, followed by canonization as a saint on May 16, 1920. The religious play in her honor at Orleans was declared by the 15th century Church to be a pilgrimage site meriting an indulgence, and she was subsequently used as a symbol of the Catholic League during the 16th century. www.nowtryus.com /article:Joan_of_Arc   (3384 words)

1 Perhaps the best known female saintly warrior is Joan of Arc, who took up the sword to defend her people against foreign oppression. And all saints, male and female, are believed to have performed miracles after their death; that is, indeed, an important element of the canonization procedure. Androgyny or unisex is the notion that sexuality, male and female, is not fundamental to our nature but is arbitrary, and that all forms of sexuality are equivalent and basically arbitrary. www.catholic.net /rcc/Periodicals/Homiletic/02-97/1/1.html   (3384 words)
