What is in St. Joan of Arc's Reliquary?
According to the site below there is no reliquary box.
All of St. Joan's first class relics are now destroyed or lost forever. Joan's ashes were gathered together and burned a second time and the remaining dust was tossed into a river to prevent the gathering of relics.
All of St. Joan's reliable second class relics have been destroyed, such as the clothing and armor she wore. What remains is disputed and remains in the hands of junk dealers passing themselves off as dealers in antiquities.
Three of St. Joan's letters remain at the locations to which they were addressed. Also, a few statues and crucifices before which she prayed still exist in the churches and chapels where they were displayed. These are the only reliable third class relics of St. Joan of Arc that exist, and even then, due to restoration efforts, their authenticity may have degraded somewhat. For example, art restorers would have been hired to create really good fakes of these works so the originals could be transported elsewhere.
Thus, St. Joan of Arc has neither a reliquary nor anything to place in it. What she had was either destroyed when she was killed, or destroyed during wars and revolutions, or had been repaired or replaced to a condition of unreliability.
Joan of arc's brothers' names were Pierre, Jacqumine and Jean
Faith, purity, loyalty were here greatest traits.
Rheims (l429) and Orleans ( same year) are her best known campaigns. there was a poem about Joan of Arc which unfortunately had a rhythmic quality that suggested the upbeat song- Happy Days are Here again- and there were various towns mentioned in the song- not necessarily battle sites. Tours, Arles and Domremy ( her home town) reply- and Joan of Arc goes riding by- it sounds TOO much like ( Happy Days are Here Again!)
It has been suggested (Charlie) which may have honored her Patron, King Charles Vii. That"s Charles the seventh. it is easy to remember- as the word Charles has seven letters. Charles was married once, and also had a mistress Agnes Sorel, who had an elaborate state funeral, quite unlike Joan. about a year ago the body of Agnes Sorel was disinterred and an autopsy was performed. I kid you not. a Girl who has been dead for over 500 years!- and not an Egyptian mummy, either.
Joan of Arc is the correct spelling, not Joan of Ark.

Her goal was to drive the British out of France and restore the French monarchy.
She wanted to drive the British out of France and restore the French monarchy.
In Orleans, France, there is a month long celebration including a huge parade. Joan liberated Orleans may 8th, 1429. So the parade and celebration is around that date. Other cities in France have parades and less elaborate ways to celebrate Joan of Arc. Almost all towns, small and large have statues of Joan of Arc. The previous answer that French people go to church is wrong.
