It may not be widely known outside Ireland that the Carmelite Church in Whitefriar Street in Dublin City claims to hold the remains of St Valentine. The Carmelites first arrived in Ireland in 1271, and today there is a community of 17 in the Monastery attached to Whitefriar Street Church.
The story of how the remains of St Valentine came to rest in Whitefriar Street is interesting, and involves a famous nineteenth-century Carmelite attached to the Church, Fr John Spratt. Fr Spratt visited Rome in 1835, and apparently largely on the strength of his powers as a preacher, Pope Gregory XVI decided to make his Church a gift of St Valentine's body, then believed to be in the Cemetery of St Hippolitus in Rome.
The remains of Valentine were duly transferred to Whitefriar Street Church in 1836, and since that date have been venerated there, especially around the time of the Saint's Feast Day.

- Hi Ken, I have receieved my Claddagh in the mail today, I was so excited just to open the envelope! The ring looks absolutely amazing, and soo much better than the photo that was shown on the internet. I really do adore the ring. I am very thankful that it got to me so quickly, I've been waiting the whole week! This is the best present I have bought myself in a long time. If I ever have another chance to buy a ring for my better half, this would be the place that I would come to. It was really a pleasure doing business with you. Thank you! Susie
