STOP: the crowning of the king and king cake ceremony at Oscar Dunn Park (the sidewalk amphitheater across from Jackson Square);

Slight right onto N. Peters;

A pause to sing Happy Birthday at the Joan of Arc statue as we pass it on the N.Peters side;

Left onto Ursuline;

Right onto Chartres;

STOP: the blessing of Joan’s sword at St. Mary’s Church in the Old Ursuline Convent (1119 Chartres) (instead of at the Cathedral, due to both street and cathedral construction);
