Visit Saint Valentine
There are many mysteries surrounding the origins of St Valentine’s Day, but did you know that the remains of St Valentine himself can be found in a shrine in Dublin’s Whitefriar Street Church? In the 19th century Pope Gregory XVI donated the relic to the church after hearing the Irish priest Father John Spratt preaching in Rome – even then the Irish gift of the gab was legendary!
Just a short stroll from St Stephen’s Green, the Shrine of St Valentine in Whitefriar Street Church is a popular stop for young couples in love. Those about to be married can even get their rings blessed on St Valentine’s Day – what better way to ensure a lifetime of love!
