The Irish Connection with St. Valentine

St. Valentine was a third century Christian martyr who was beheaded in Rome around 269 AD. His remains are believed to be held at the Carmelite Church on Whitefriar Street in Dublin. Every year on Valentine's Day the casket containing the Saint's remains is carried in solemn procession to the high altar of the Carmelite Church for a special Mass dedicated to young people and those in love.
