Best Answer

Joan's sister (Catherine) is believed to have died in childbirth. Her death must have been after mid-1429 because there's a quote from Joan (related by an eyewitness) dated from about August 1429 mentioning a desire to return home and see her sister again.

The film "The Messenger" invented a purely fictitious English attack on Joan's village during which Catherine is killed and then posthumously raped by an English soldier when Joan was a young child. This never happened. The only two attacks on Joan's village were the following: a minor assault in 1425 (by a Burgundian army led by Henri d'Orly) during which some livestock were stolen and then later returned; and a more serious attack in July of 1428 (by another Burgundian army led by Antoine de Vergy) during which the crops were burned and some of the buildings were damaged. There was no loss of life since the villagers had fled to the nearby city of Neufchatel before the troops arrived. Joan's family and some of the other villagers spent that time at an inn run by a widow nicknamed "la Rousse". Catherine was not killed during that attack, the army which launched the attack was not English, nor did the incident occur during Joan's childhood - she would have been around sixteen in 1428.

How do the french celebrate Joan arcs day?

In Orleans, France, there is a month long celebration including a huge parade. Joan liberated Orleans may 8th, 1429. So the parade and celebration is around that date. Other cities in France have parades and less elaborate ways to celebrate Joan of Arc. Almost all towns, small and large have statues of Joan of Arc. The previous answer that French people go to church is wrong.
