The SAINTE-CROIX Cathedral of Orleans, dedicated to the Holy Cross (Latin “Santa Croce”), draws its patronage from the cross on which Jesus Christ died. The veneration of the Holy Cross goes back to a large extent to Saint Helena, who was the mother of Emperor Constantine the Great (who recognized Christianity as a religion after his victory at the “Milvian Bridge” in front of Rome and in the year 312 for a long time the persecution ended with the “tolerance edict” of Milan). In the early fourth century she undertook a pilgrimage to the Holy Land (Israel / Palestine) and from there brought numerous relics with her to Europe, including the "True Cross" on which Jesus Christ was crucified. Helena is therefore often depicted with a cross as an attribute. The church celebrates the festival of the discovery, public presentation and veneration of the Holy Cross – called “Exaltation of the Cross” – on September 14th.

Joan of Arc, known in German-speaking countries as "Johanna of Orleans", (1412? to 1431) was an important person in the history of France at the time of the so-called 100 Years' War between the kingdoms of England and France. After her capture, she was condemned as a heretic (at the instigation of the English) and burned, but two and a half decades later (at the instigation of the French) this sentence was overturned. She is the patroness of France. The music group OMD (Orchestral Maneuvers in the Dark) dedicated a song to her in the early 1980s: "Maid of Orleans".

Via the Rue Jeanne d'Arc we reach the Place du Martroi, in the center of which is Joan of Arc on horseback and a little further we reach the museum in the Maison de Joan of Arc, a reconstructed house where she stayed during the Battle of Orléans. A multimedia area awaits us here. The original building was destroyed in 1940 and rebuilt in 1961. A 15-minute video tells the story of her life, the importance of the Hundred Years' War, her murder and her memory. If it is not so easy for us to follow the video with the abundance of historical facts, the only languages available are English and French. More information is available on screens. https://youtu.be/mtZ845gbC7A
