Visit the Man Himself in Dublin - Saint Valentine
Not too many people know it, but Saint Valentine actually is a "Dub". Well, sort of ... a church in Whitefriar Street (Aungier Street), built in the 19th century, became his home. In 1835 Pope Gregory XVI gave the relics of Saint Valentine to the Carmelite Church there, to boost Catholicism. So what better place to celebrate Valentine's Day? Proposing here should be a guarantee for success. Unless you join the ranks of a few Doubting Thomas’s claiming that the saint's relics were actually mixed up with the relics of another, lesser known St. Valentine. But could bookkeeping really have been so sloppy in the Vatican?
