As she was a female knight, Joan was awarded a patent of arms- what is popularily called a crest or coat of arms. this was worn on the front of the skirt portion of her feminine armor. the design was enclosed in a stylized diamond, indicating a Lady (Diamonds are for Heifers!) a good memory jogger. The arms or insignia proper exist in two variations the colors are Blue and White. (in Both) a sword placed naked- that is exposed, pointed upwards, flanked by two fleurs-de-lis (all white) on a blue background and above the sword- here is where there are differences- either a crown which represents service to the Crown (of France) or in a variant a sort of Silver Ring- possibly similar to the (brass rings) originally used for target practice in the Middle Ages. These are her arms. there is some controversy whether she wore the cross of Lorraine- with two horizontal bars, on her breastplate with a white vest sort of like a T-shirt (forgive me for analogy) worn over her armor, with this design. But the two fleurs de lis the upward pointing sword and crown- or ring design are basic to the heraldic arms of Dame Jeanne D"arc. there you have it.
The banner she carried with God blessing the French royal emblem, a fleur-de-lis also.

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.
