For 2027, the Krewe de Jeanne d'Arc's collectible annual Joan of Arc saint medal features an image from our 2025 Joan of Art juried art exhibition, "Joan of Arc: A Piece for my Niece" by Cole Sowder, a professional artist based in Atlanta. Sowder specializies in iconography. Sowder's young niece finds courage in a Joan of Arc doll, and he drew this to bring Joan to life as a real warrior she could grow up with.

The medallion version is set in a simple unisex antique gold-colored nickel-free oval bezel with a brown waxed cotton cord. Pendant is 25mm x 35mm

The back of the medallion says “Saint Joan of Arc 2027, Artist: Cole Sowder.” Saint medallions are individually packaged traditional saint-medal-style on a prayer card in a fitted cello envelope. Inside the envelope is another card with the above background information about the image on one side. The other side contains the initials of Krewe members who made and prayed over the medallion. 

The 2027prayer card is also included in the cello envelope, featuring a central image from our 2025 Joan of Art juried exhibit, "Dare Until I Die" by New Orleans artist Giovanni Tutrone.

This year's prayer is by krewe member Chris Caravella: "Saint Joan of Arc, we gather in your honor. You willingly received divine voices to fight the just cause, and through your faith and perserverance you changed the course of history for France and the world, even at the cost of your own precious life. In God's name, raind down your blessings and be our inspiration to follow your voice in our personal lives and our collective pursuit to promote your example of courage, purpose, and steadfastness in our own times. Vive Jeanne d'Arc!" 

For 2027 and the last several years, the prayer card frame is based on the Book of Hours of King Charles VIII of France, made in the late 1400s in Paris. François Barbier painted the border miniatures.
