Visit St. Valentine
Carmelite Church Whitefriar Street
Why locals love it
Around the middle of February each year this little known church becomes very popular with those in love or seeking love. The Church houses a shrine containing some of the mortal remains of Saint Valentine. The remains were gifted to a Dublin preacher John Spratt following a ceremony he gave in Rome in 1835.

Why you should visit it
If you are not of the romantic ilk St. Valentine may still be your man, he is also the patron saint of epilepsy and bee-keepers (as well as fainting and plague but lets not shout that too loudly!). The Carmelite church itself is worth a visit too and there is a coffee shop for refreshments if you need reviving from all the love in the air.
