Joan of Arc Coloring Pages
Welcome to my Joan of Arc coloring pages section! This is a wonderful opportunity for children and adults alike to learn about one of history's most fascinating figures while engaging in a fun and creative activity.
Joan of Arc, often referred to as the "Maid of Orleans," was a heroic figure from the Middle Ages. Born in 1412 in Domrémy, France, she became a key figure during the Hundred Years' War between France and England. Joan's story is one of courage and faith; she claimed that she received visions from saints instructing her to support Charles VII and help recover France from English domination. At just 17, she led French troops into battle, marking a turning point in the war.
Joan of Arc was declared a Saint in 1920 by the Roman Catholic church. In the images above, she carries a banner with a Christian cross which is a simple image for preschoolers to understand. Joan was a devout Christian who felt that God had asked her to help lead France to victory.
She is carrying a banner with the fleur-de-lis, the symbol of France and is more likely to be the symbol she actually used. Joan of Arc used it on her banner to show she was fighting for her king and her country.
