May you feel the spirit and light of Joan this holiday season!
P.s. Speaking of light, today, December 13th, is Saint Lucy's Day (St. Lucia's Day), a festival of light celebrating the early Christian martyr, Lucia of Syracuse, especially prominent in Scandinavia where she's honored with candles, processions, and saffron buns.
P.p.s. It's also Wreaths Across America Day, honoring veterans, and Joan is considered a patron saint of armed forces!

Joan of Arc's famous line, "Courage! Do not fall back; in a little the place will be yours. Watch! When the wind blows my banner against the bulwark, you shall take it," was spoken during the Siege of Orléans (specifically the assault on Les Tourelles) around May 7, 1429, encouraging French soldiers to press forward, showing her leadership and faith as she rallied troops to take a key English stronghold.
For 2026, the Krewe de Jeanne d’Arc’s collectible annual Joan of Arc saint medallion features an image from our 2024 Joan of Art juried art exhibition, “Courage” by New Orleans Jackson Square artist Tara Gass-Braden. The original piece is made out of four layers of intricate hand-cut paper and is part of the artist’s Hometown Heroes series.
Will you be a lucky recipient of this party favor at Joan of Arc‘s birthday celebration?

Here, here! The French Quarter is dear to us—let’s keep it healthy! After all, it’s where Joanie on the pony lives!!!
Our parade helps businesses for one night in January that the quarter may otherwise be less busy (for example it’s on a Tuesday this year-that would otherwise be a slow night)— but they need support the other 364 days of the year as well!!!
If you can, try to plan to dine in the quarter before or after our parade —or make a staycation of it, and book a night in a hotel there! For those of you coming from out of town to see the parade, we thank you !!!! You’re helping support New Orleans with your post-holidays pre-Mardi Gras season visit!!!!French Quarter restaurants are in make-or-break mode after disruptive year: ‘Not normal at all’ www.nola.com/entertainment_life/eat-drink/french-quarter-restaurants-immigration-sweeps/article_5...
“I’ve been running around the Quarter since I was a teenager, and there’s more cool local stuff here now than ever. The concern is how can local places make it through whatever this downturn is and survive.”
