“On en peut pas brûler la mémoire de Jehanne!” De jonge meisjes met stralende ogen en opgeheven hoofd laten op mij een felle indruk na tijdens het middeleeuws schouwspel voor de abdij van Domrémy-la-Pucelle in de Franse Vogezen. De bijna voltallige bevolking van het kleine dorpje werkt actief mee aan het jaarlijkse evocatiespel rond het leven, sterven en de rehabilitatie van hun held, Jeanne d’Arc, of Jehanne zoals ze hier genoemd werd.
Jehanne was geen gewone held. Ze liet zich leiden door haar innerlijke stemmen, die ze toeschreef aan de heilige Catherine en de heilige Margaretha. Deze stemmen verbonden haar met het goddelijke en met wat Jehanne als haar levensopdracht aanvoelde. Ze hield met passie haar pleidooien om de bevolking op te roepen Karel VII te steunen als rechtmatige leider van haar vaderland. Ze trok ten strijde toen ze zestien jaar oud was, trok mannenkleren aan en leerde paardrijden. Ze haatte het doden van mensen, elke dode in de strijd was er een te veel. De vraag blijft of ze ooit een persoon het leven benam. Er leefde heel wat tweestrijd in het gemoed van Jehanne op dat vlak, maar ze bleef strijden voor wat zij als rechtvaardig aanvoelde. Ze stierf de vuurdood op een brandstapel in Rouen op negentienjarige leeftijd. Veroordeeld als ketter door een Kerkelijke rechtbank. Vijfentwintig jaar na haar dood werd het proces herzien en werd ze gerehabiliteerd. In de geschiedenisboeken is ze nu officieel een held en een heilige.
Waar haalde Jehanne haar passie en haar doorzettingskracht? Wat maakte van haar een rechtmatige held, die ook twijfelt, onzekerheid en angst durft uiten en uiteindelijk vertrouwt op haar innerlijke leiding? Wat vormde haar tot een ware Shero – een vrouwelijke held – en welke boodschap heeft ze voor de jongeren van vandaag?
“On en peut pas brûler la mémoire de Jehanne!” The young girls with shining eyes and lifted heads leave a strong impression on me during the medieval spectacle in front of the abbey of Domrémy-la-Pucelle in the French Vosges. The almost entire population of the small village actively participates in the annual evocation play about the life, death and rehabilitation of their hero, Joan of Arc, or Jehanne as she was called here.
Jehanne was no ordinary hero. She was guided by her inner voices, which she attributed to Saint Catherine and Saint Margaret. These voices connected her to the divine and to what Jehanne felt was her life’s mission. She passionately made her pleas calling on the population to support Charles VII as the rightful leader of her homeland. She went to war when she was sixteen years old, donned men’s clothes and learned to ride a horse. She hated killing people, every death in battle was one too many. The question remains whether she ever took the life of a person. There was a lot of conflict in Jehanne’s mind in that area, but she continued to fight for what she felt was fair. She died by fire on a pyre in Rouen at the age of nineteen. Condemned as a heretic by an Ecclesiastical court. Twenty-five years after her death, the process was revised and she was rehabilitated. In the history books, she is now officially a hero and a saint.
Where did Jehanne get her passion and her perseverance? What made her a legitimate hero, who also has doubts, dares to express uncertainty and fear and ultimately trusts her inner guidance? What shaped her into a true Shero – a female hero – and what message does she have for today’s youth?
