33. A church in Dublin, Ireland, is also said to house relics of Saint Valentine, and is a site of pilgrimage for lovers and the broken-hearted

Valentine’s bones don’t rest in Rome alone. Relics of Saint Valentine himself are also said to be housed in Ireland. Each year, loved-up men and women head to Dublin to pay tribute at the Shrine of St. Valentine, located at the Whitefriar Church in Dublin. Many singletons pray at the shrine asking Valentine to send love their way. And many broken-hearted believers pray there and light a candle to the ancient Roman priest asking for him to send their beloved back to them.
