Joan was born to a peasant family around the year 1412 in Domremy, in northeastern France. Joan was born into a country that had been in a long war with England (known as the Hundred Year’s War). It had started as an inheritance dispute over the French throne. At the time Joan was born, the French were losing the war. Joan lived a very ordinary farmer’s daughter’s life until the age of 13, when while in her father’s garden she experienced her first vision. She saw the Archangel Michael, St. Catherine and St. Margaret. They told her God wanted her to help lead the French army in order to drive out the English and bring the Dauphin to Reims for his coronation. Joan trusted in God’s plan for her life, and help lead the French army in many victories over the English. She also succeeded in her mission of having Charles VII crowned King in Reims. St. Joan of Arc was captured and martyred by the English when she was only 19 years old- but her victories and legacy changed the course of French history.

We have several dolls now. My grandchildren play with them a lot. In the “top toys”, to play with at grandmas house!! I love them because the kids are learning the saints names. Also, different references to the devotions for Jesus and Mary.

I bought the St. Joan of Arc doll for my desk. It's a reminder to always be strong. I also have the Sacred Heart of Jesus and the Our Lady of Czestochowa dolls on my desk, too. A nice way to start the morning. :)

This doll was ordered for Christmas but the packaging was incorrect. The Shining Light Dolls team immediately made it right for us. Everything was so prompt and our grandchildren all love these dolls.

I gave the Joan of Arc doll to my 36 year old daughter who chose her for her confirmation saint name. She loved it!

Love this toy! My daughter recently became more interested in Joan of Arc, so I ordered one of these for her St. Nicholas day stocking. There was a slight mix up and the card included with the doll was for St. Agnes. I contacted Shining Light support team, and they made it right asap, sending a replacement doll with the right card. Excellent service! Thank you so much!

My daughter has a budding interest in St. Joan of Arc, so I knew this doll would be a great St. Nicholas Day present! Luckily, Shining Light restocked it just in time for it to arrive by St. Nicholas day! There was initially a mix-up with the prayer card (we got St. Agnes of Rome), but Shining Light was so quick and generous about making it right! Thanks so much!

Adorable, and as expected!

Great doll! Got her to help my two-year-old be brave at night. Now “Joanie” swordfights scary dinosaurs instead of the English.

I love the Shining Light dolls for my Faith Formation class however, my Saint Joan of Arc never made it to my class. Rather, my daughter asked for her for her high school History class for classroom display. So great St Joan is being seen by the high school crowd.

My friend absolutely loved this! She has a special connection to St Joan and I wanted to get her a small statuette. It's made of a softer plastic so it will not break easily. It's wonderful, especially for children!

My baby loves it! Thank you!

Love this toy for my daughter!!!

Cute little doll/toy I bought a whole bunch of these dolls to use as gifts. I thought they were made of wood, for no reason other than that they look like peg dolls. They're actually made of plastic, and kind of have the feel of bath toys. They feel incredibly durable, and I'm excited to share them with my child, godchildren, nieces, and nephews. I bought so many but after seeing them I actually wish I'd bought more.

Perfect for my 2yo daughter My daughter is equal parts feminine and tough girl, sensitive but brave, so when I saw the Joan of Arc was back in stock I knew this had to be her Easter basket Saint this year. She loves her shining light dolls and even takes them to bed with her!

Reminder! I love my little Joan of Arc doll! I’m a full-grown woman who loves her collectible toys. I have three saints sitting on my desk at work, reminding me of the good I can put into the world if I allow the Holy Spirit to guide me. My students love the dolls too! 🥰
