- [Krewe house flag - blue](https://joanofarcparade.org/store/house-flag-blue/) - Show your colors this Mardi Gras season with a lawn or house flag for Krewe de Jeanne d\'Arc.

It\'s light enough to wave gaily in the breeze if it\'s hanging free; if you want it to hang flat against a wall, you might want to fasten a weight to keep it hanging nicely.

- ["Birthday Parade" Books - 20pk](https://joanofarcparade.org/store/birthday-parade-childrens-book-20-pk/) - This original children’s book tells the story of Joan of Arc’s life through the eyes of a child seeing the Krewe de Jeanne d’Arc parade, illustrated by photos of characters from our parade. Printed as a 6″x6″ square saddle-stitched (stapled) 24-page paperback booklet in full color, the medieval-inspired artistry will captivate adults as well as children. As the main frames carry the illustrated plot, a miniature version of the parade unfolds page by page underneath the main frames in the style of medieval marginalia on an authentic medieval border. The last page shows the full parade in sequence in a medieval landscape. Sold in packs of 20 for giving away as throws to help our parade viewers learn Joan\'s story. Created by krewe members Amanda Helm and Judy Harris Helm, drawing on the work of our volunteer krewe photographers Kim Welsh, Frank Stansbury, Irina Filatova, LeAnne Hitchcock, Julie Darby, Gary H. Jones and Robert Dales. Amelia, the child depicted in the book as a parade viewer, is actually a long-time parade participant and a true Joan of Arc fan. Early childhood expert Judy Harris Helm wrote the text and tested it on children of various ages, parents and a pastor. Krewe graphic artist Amanda Helm created the illustrations. While most of the photos are drawn from our 10th anniversary year, the 2018 parade featuring our 2018 maid Martha Pinney, our first 9 Maids of Honor are included (2010-2018). Sample pages are shown here with a watermark (the actual book is in high-res with no “do not print” watermark). Please note: Because Foot Soldier members may not hand out throws, they may not purchase throws, except for the keepsake pack and individual throws sold in person at events. Browse the book here. Note: The creators have done their best to strike the right balance between including as many krewe members as possible, using available full-length photos, capturing the meaning of the parade, and keeping visual crowding to an aesthetically pleasing level. We hope you will find your own medieval miniature among the more than 100 included in the book, but it is simply not possible to include all 400 paraders!

The outer cover is printed on sturdy high-gloss cardstock, hand-embellished with 3D blue rhinestones in the corners and bound with blue satin ribbon.

- [Lady Rectitude Ruler -- 20-pk](https://joanofarcparade.org/store/lady-rectitude-ruler-20-pk/) - Medieval French poet Christine de Pizan is probably the first woman to make a living as a professional writer, ranging from love ballads to philosophical advice books for the court. Late in Christine\'s life, she wrote a poem celebrating Joan of Arc at the moment of Joan\'s triumph at Orléans, and, for this reason, the Christine de Pizan character is portrayed twice in our parade -- in the Voices and Restoration battalions. The quote on the ruler \"The shining ruler you see me carry is the straight ruler which separates right from wrong\" is a quote from the character Lady Rectitude, from Christine\'s most famous book, \"City of Ladies,\" noteworthy for its early celebration of female leaders.

Lead us, as You led Joan, to achieve both justice and reconciliation in our city and our world. We ask this through Jesus. Amen.

Please note that unfortunately the tariffs have significantly increased our price on these so we have now packaged them in sets of only 10, not 20 as we usually offer. Why do we have a dragon in our historical parade? As the back of the playing card reads: \"Under orders from God, Joan of Arc (1412-1431) led the losing French army to a comeback victory against the English. Joan heard God’s voice through 3 personas: Saint Michael the Archangel, Saint Catherine of the Wheel, and Saint Margaret the Virgin. Legend says brave Margaret (300 A.D.) refused a Roman governor’s marriage proposal because he asked her to renounce Christianity. The angry governor had her swallowed by a dragon, but Margaret escaped alive when her cross irritated the dragon’s innards. Ultimately, her story was declared apocryphal, but in Joan’s day, Margaret was a popular saint. In old stories, dragons symbolize the devil, and our dragon’s name is “Adversaire,” French for \"The Adversary.\"

It\'s light enough to wave gaily in the breeze if it\'s hanging free; if you want it to hang flat against a wall, you might want to fasten a weight to keep it hanging nicely.

- [Notecards](https://joanofarcparade.org/store/notecards/) - Proceeds from the sale of these notecards go to the New Orleans Rotary Foundation to support the Joan of Arc Exchange travel scholarship program which sends our young \"Maid of Honor\" to our sister city Orléans, France. The notecards feature original designs by Judy Sheon of the krewe\'s \"Restoration\" battalion, which tells the story of the trial 25 years after Joan\'s death, when she was declared an innocent martyr. This trial took place in several cathedrals throughout France. Two of these cathedrals are represented with large rolling props in our parade, Notre Dame of Paris and the Basilique Cathédrale Sainte-Croix d\'Orléans. During the annual Fêtes de Jeanne d\'Arc, celebrated in Orléans, France, a stunning light show is projected onto the cathedral. Our large rolling prop depicts the Orléans cathedral during that light show which is so emblematic of a key cultural tie between our two cities -- our celebration of Joan of Arc! During the 2018 Fête when delegates from our parade participated in the Orléans parade in celebration of the new sister city partnership between New Orleans and Orléans, this light show included images of New Orleans. 2023 saw the creation of a sister city partnership between the New Orleans and Orléans Rotary clubs. In the 2024 New Orleans parade, members of the Rotary Clubs of New Orleans as well as the young \"Jeanne d\'Arc\" and other guests from Orléans, France, will parade alongside the Orléans cathedral prop, which is depicted on one of the four notecards in the set.
