Kind of Heroes

a. Heroes from the past.

Joan of Arc

Saint Joan of Arc or The Maid of Orléans (French: Jeanne d'Arc, 1412 – 30 May 1431) is a national heroine of France and a Catholic saint. A peasant girl born in eastern France, she led the French army to several important victories during the Hundred Years' War, claiming divine guidance, and was indirectly responsible for the coronation of Charles VII. She was captured by the Burgundians, sold to the English, tried by an ecclesiastical court, and burned at the stake when she was nineteen years old. Twenty-four years later, on the initiative of Charles VII, Pope Callixtus III reviewed the decision of the ecclesiastical court, found her innocent, and declared her a martyr. She was beatified in 1909 and canonized in 1920. She is, along with St. Denis, St. Martin of Tours, St. Louis IX, and St. Theresa of Lisieux, one of the patron saints of France

b. Heroes of the modern days.

Jessica Watson

An Australian teen who spent seven months at sea has become the youngest person to sail solo, nonstop and unassisted around the world. Sixteen-year-old Jessica Watson sailed into Sydney Harbour on Saturday after completing a 23,000 nautical mile voyage. Thousands lined the harbor to cheer on the teen as she cruised into port in her pink 34-foot (10-meter) yacht. She will set foot on land for the first time in 210 days when she docks at the Opera House.
