St. Joan of Arc.

Hey, folks. THIS is a meme fail.

I saw this on a Witch page and now I feel I need to explain what's wrong with it. The text on this is quite old and circulated just fine on its own.

This added picture is the fail.

That's not even a woman being condemned as a witch. That's Joan of Arc. Condemned for hearsay because she claimed to hear the voices of the saints, but not condemned for witchcraft. She was later canonized as a Catholic Saint.

The painting depicts Saint Joan asking for her cross. She begged that someone hold up a cross for her so she could hold it or at least look at it as she died. ...Not sure why someone chose Saint Joan for a Witch meme...

Did they just Google "Woman burned at stake" and didn't realize it was Saint Joan?

Happy Feast of All Saints/big shoutout to the homies who came through for me this past year. Hail the mighty dead and may the Communion of Saints pray for us!

I mean they did also kill Joan of Arc for dressing in male clothing. that was a pretty significant thing that happened. like I understand where you’re coming from here but they very much did kill Joan of Arc.

But to surrender who you are and to live without belief is more terrible than dying – even more terrible than dying young.
