Excerpt from Paris From the Earliest Period to the Present Day, Vol. 3The high antiquity, the constant recurrence to vanished ages and beliefs, in these old edifices and this old service, are truly impressive. In April, 1894, a solemn thanksgiving service was celebrated in notre-dame in honor of the saintship of Jeanne d'arc, and there was presented to Monseigneur Richard, Cardinal Archbishop of Paris, an accurate copy of her famous banner, re constructed with the utmost care from a tapestry in the Museum of Orleans, and which, solemnly blessed by the archbishop, was to be preserved among the cathedral treasures. It will be remem bered that all the details of this banner were revealed to the Maid by her voices, and that she described it herself to the judges who burned her, - so that, even for those who doubt, there is a possibility here of coming in touch with very mysterious things.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
