#Whitefriar Street Carmelite Church

[stairnaheireann]

#OTD in 1922 – The funeral of Harry Boland takes place at Whitefriar Street Carmelite Church.

Boland opposed the Anglo-Irish Treaty along with de Valera, and in the ensuing Irish Civil War, he sided with the Anti-Treaty IRA. In 1922, he was re-elected to the Dáil representing Mayo South–Roscommon South. Boland was shot by soldiers of the Irish Free State Army when they attempted to arrest him at the Skerries Grand Hotel. Two Free State Army officers entered his room and Boland, unarmed,…

The Week 1 #City23 Update: Nottingham and Cape Crescent

So I started this project over on Cohost, but I'm going to switch to posting my public updates here on Tumblr.

Around the time I kicked off work on this, I saw this semi-viral Tweet, and while it might be half joking, it's pretty spot on for what I want to do in #City23.

Cape Crescent, ME

A paranormal investigation originally called Lunaris, I swapped that out for something that sounded more like New England. I don't make my own maps and I'm not going to start, so I'm making a fictional reinterpretation of Ogunquit, ME for this.

During planning, I'd set up a few factions, and a few concentrated areas (as well as doom clocks, which I'll be setting up later), including a benevolent society that organizes the town's werewolf, a local sinister occult society, a private paranormal research foundation with government grants, and a Tourism Board that represents the non-paranormal people of the town.

During this first week, I focused on locations and the NPCs in them that would—at first glance—be part of the Tourism Board, but I made sure each one had at least one tie in to some other faction.

Bishop's Diner, where Olivia Bishop, the owner, is wary of of the Ghost Bay Research Foundation and it's projects in the bay, and the short-order cook Carson Caine, is the estranged son of the necromancer who runs the occult society.

Clifftop Motor Lodge, where the owner, a friendly recluse who rarely comes into town, is secretly funneling supplies to one of Ghost Bay Foundation's projects.

Old Main General Supply, a grocery, hardware, and gas station where the owner Micah Redding runs the Benevolent Society for the local werewolves. His son Clay, one of the wolves, is friends with Carson Caine, and they often commit petty crimes together.

Nottingham

For Sherwood and games with a similar OSRish vibe, Nottingham is a chance for the outlaw band to come out of the woods and into the town. I pulled factions and locations from historical Nottingham, including the Whitefriars (Nottingham's old Carmelite friary), Lenton Priory (the French Cluniac monastery that actually sent monks to engage in banditry), the Sheriff (a royal appointee who lived in the King's Nottingham castle), and St. Mary's Church. As I go, I'd like to come up with some guilds or other lower-powered secular/street-level authorities to represent groups of typical citizens. During this first week of #City23, I focused on an inn within the walls: The Three Foxes, an inn whose owners need to realize it's a nexus of the tunnels and caves of underground Nottingham.

Most of this week was adding NPCs:

Claire Jarry, the owner, who came to Nottingham from Rouen for reasons she won't discuss. She knows how to navigate the tunnels under the inn to make her way to the Priory and the large parish church of St. Mary, and uses her access to blackmail the clergy.

Clove Jarry, Claire's oldest son, who transitioned and left town to become a highwayman. Clove and his wives frequently visit the inn when they come to Nottingham via a secret tunnel that leads under the town's walls to a forgotten smuggler's cave in the wood. Clove's mother and brothers know about the tunnel.

Ronan Jarry, Claire's middle son and likely heir.

Vital Jarry, Claire's youngest, is a seductive con artist and crook who's found a tunnel that leads to the cellars of Nottingham Castle, and is planning to steal from the sheriff even if it brings the sheriff's wrath down on other criminals and outlaws.

In addition, there's a customer, Colman, who's a sturdy man who can drink most others under the table. A generous sort, he often escorts people home after they've had too much, but no one's noticed yet that some of those people have yet to be seen again.

I've also started documenting some treasures.

Ronan possesses an amulet whose central stone is made from a hard, amber-like resin that contains the souls stolen and trapped by the cruel Bishop of Hereford. He entrusted the amulet to his mistress who surrendered it to Clove. The bishop's mistress has gone into hiding and both she and the bishop want the amulet back.

Colman possesses an "amulet"—really a poorly painted image of an unnamed saint on a simple leather thong. If the saint's image is fed enough of a living person's blood, it will keep a dying person alive indefinitely.

(Sorry, there are enough +1 arrows in RPGs and Robin Hood deserves better.)

Making Progress and Giving Myself Room

In the first nine days of 2023, I've gotten 5 entries for Nottingham and 6 for Cape Crescent. That's not too bad. It's been a rough start to 2023, and some of the health issues my parents are facing are making it look like it'll keep being stressful. Working on #City23 has been, in many ways, a lifesaver, though I'm giving myself space to take breaks as I need to.

Happy Saint Valentine’s Day: let’s remember the Saint, not the commercial use of his name.

Saint Valentine (Italian: San Valentino; Latin: Valentinus) was a 3rd-century Roman saint, commemorated in Western Christianity on February 14 and in Eastern Orthodoxy on July 6. From the High Middle Ages, his Saints' Day has been associated with a tradition of courtly love. He is also a patron saint of Terni, epilepsy and beekeepers. Saint Valentine was a clergyman in the Roman Empire who ministered to persecuted Christians. He was martyred and his body buried on the Via Flaminia on February 14, which has been observed as the Feast of Saint Valentine (Saint Valentine's Day) since at least the eighth century. H is skull, crowned with flowers, is exhibited in the Basilica of Santa Maria in Cosmedin, Rome. Other relics of him are in Whitefriar Street Carmelite Church, Dublin, Ireland, a popular place of pilgrimage, especially on Saint Valentine's Day, for those seeking love.

[dublincurious]

Did you know that the relics of Saint Valentine can be found in Whitefriar Street Church?

This Carmelite church was consecrated in the 19th century and only £4000 were spent for its building, which proves how much can be done with a limited budget when there is taste and judgment!

Valentine's Day History

Valentine's Day, also called Saint Valentine's Day or the Feast of Saint Valentine, is celebrated annually on February 14. It originated as a Christian feast day honoring a martyr named Valentine. Through later folk traditions, it has become a significant cultural and commercial celebration of romance and love in many regions of the world.

There are a number of martyrdom stories associated with various Saint Valentines connected to February 14, including an account of the imprisonment of Saint Valentine of Rome for ministering to Christians persecuted under the Roman Empire in the third century. According to an early tradition, Saint Valentine restored sight to the blind daughter of his jailer. Numerous later additions to the legend have better related it to the theme of love: an 18th-century embellishment to the legend claims he wrote the jailer's daughter a letter signed "Your Valentine" as a farewell before his execution another tradition posits that Saint Valentine performed weddings for Christian soldiers who were forbidden to marry.

The 8th-century Gelasian Sacramentary recorded the celebration of the Feast of Saint Valentine on February 14.The day became associated with romantic love in the 14th and 15th centuries when notions of courtly love flourished, apparently by association with the "lovebirds" of early spring. In 18th-century England, it grew into an occasion for couples to express their love for each other by presenting flowers, offering confectionery, and sending greeting cards (known as "valentines"). Valentine's Day symbols that are used today include the heart-shaped outline, doves, and the figure of the winged Cupid. In the 19th century, handmade cards gave way to mass-produced greetings. In Italy, Saint Valentine's keys are given to lovers "as a romantic symbol and an invitation to unlock the giver's heart", as well as to children to ward off epilepsy (called Saint Valentine's Malady).

Saint Valentine's Day is not a public holiday in any country, although it is an official feast day in the Anglican Communion[13] and the Lutheran Church. Many parts of the Eastern Orthodox Church also celebrate Saint Valentine's Day on July 6 in honor of Roman presbyter Saint Valentine, and on July 30 in honor of Hieromartyr Valentine, the Bishop of Interamna (modern Terni).

Numerous early Christian martyrs were named Valentine.[16] The Valentines honored on February 14 are Valentine of Rome (Valentinus presb. m. Romae) and Valentine of Terni (Valentinus ep. Interamnensis m. Romae). Valentine of Rome was a priest in Rome who was martyred in 269 and was added to the calendar of saints by Pope Gelasius I in 496 and was buried on the Via Flaminia. The relics of St. Valentine were kept in the Church and Catacombs of San Valentino in Rome, which "remained an important pilgrim site throughout the Middle Ages until the relics of St. Valentine were transferred to the church of Santa Prassede during the pontificate of Nicholas IV [1288 - 1292]".[18][19] The flower-crowned skull of Saint Valentine is exhibited in the Basilica of Santa Maria in Cosmedin, Rome. Other relics are found at Whitefriar Street Carmelite Church in Dublin, Ireland.[20]

Valentine of Terni became bishop of Interamna (now Terni, in central Italy) and is said to have been martyred during the persecution under Emperor Aurelian in 273. He is buried on the Via Flaminia, but in a different location from Valentine of Rome. His relics are at the Basilica of Saint Valentine in Terni (Basilica di San Valentino). Professor Jack B. Oruch of the University of Kansas notes that "abstracts of the acts of the two saints were in nearly every church and monastery of Europe." A relic claimed to be Saint Valentine of Terni's head was preserved in the abbey of New Minster, Winchester, and venerated.

The Catholic Encyclopedia speaks of a third saint named Valentine who was mentioned in early martyrologies under date of February 14. He was martyred in Africa with a number of companions, but nothing more is known about him.

February 14 is celebrated as St. Valentine's Day in various Christian denominations; it has, for example, the rank of 'commemoration' in the calendar of saints in the Anglican Communion. The feast day of Saint Valentine is given in the calendar of saints of the Lutheran Church. In the 1969 revision of the Roman Catholic Calendar of Saints, the feast day of Saint Valentine on February 14 was relegated from the General Roman Calendar to particular (local or even national) calendars for the following reason: "Though the memorial of Saint Valentine is ancient, it is left to particular calendars, since, apart from his name, nothing is known of Saint Valentine except that he was buried on the Via Flaminia on February 14. Therefore, as he remains within the Roman Martyrology, he may recognised optionally during mass outside of Christmastide and Eastertide.

The feast day is still celebrated in Balzan (Malta) where relics of the saint are claimed to be found, and also throughout the world by Traditionalist Catholics who follow the older, pre-Second Vatican Council calendar (see General Roman Calendar of 1960).

In the Eastern Orthodox Church, St. Valentine is recognized on July 6, in which Saint Valentine, the Roman presbyter, is honoured; in addition, the Eastern Orthodox Church observes the feast of Hieromartyr Valentine, Bishop of Interamna, on July 30.[26][27][28]

Whitefriar Street Church in Dublin is home to the relics of Saint Valentine. A shrine of St. Valentine is at Carmelite Church on Whitefriar Street in Dublin.

[scotianostra]

On November 21st 1591 a group of Carmelite Friars (also known as White Friars) established a Lepers Hospital in a “sheltered spot called Greenside, near the northern skirts of the Calton Hill”

The Greyfriars or Franciscan church (of the Observant branch of the order) stood in the Grassmarket until it was destroyed by fire in 1845. The Whitefriars of Carmelites did not settle in Edinburgh until 1518. Their house of Greenside, near the Calton Hill, was transformed at the Dissolution into a lepers' hospital.

The 18th century  Maitlands History of Edinburgh, gives us a wee bit about the area;

"King James II. by his charter of the twentieth of his reign anno 1456 granted to the Edinburghers a spot of ground on the northeastern side of the Craigend gate, and eastern side of the pathway Leading to Leith whereon to hold Tilts and Tournaments at presents Called the Greenside, This piece of ground in the year 1520 was by the Common Council of Edinburgh with consent of the King and Archbishop of St. Andrews, granted to certain Carmelite Friars to erect a convent on which proved of no long duration. for John Robertson a merchant in Edinburgh, pursuant to a vow, on his receiving a signal mercy from god erected by a licence from the town council, on the Site of the Said Monastery an house or hospital for leprous persons to be under the direction & government of the Said Council who appointed a committee to Settle the Same who drew up certain very severe Constitutions to be observed by them, under no less a penalty than that of being hanged; and to shew they were in earnest ordered a gibbet to be erected at one end of the said hospital to enforce the observation of their Statutes."

When the Hospital was in existence the field in which it was situated was called 'The Hangman's Acre'. This name arose in consequence of a Gallows being placed at each corner of the building on which the keeper had the power without trial to hang any leper whom he found escaping The monastery was built in 1526. At the north end of Greenside Row is a pump which was formerly Rood Well of Greenside belonging to Friars.

Recently a project saw forensic artists digitally reconstruct faces from skulls found in a cemetery at St. Giles Cathedral in Edinburgh, including a woman with leprosy, who may have been a tailor, and a man who was likely a peasant.  So it seems the lepers may have only escaped the confnes of the leper colony in death.

Archaeologists initially excavated the cathedral's cemeteries in the 1980s and 1990s, ahead of a construction project and subsequent archaeological investigations. In all, the researchers found more than 100 burials dating from the 12th to the mid-16th centuries. The skeletons were then archived for future study.

The woman with leprosy, as seen in the pic, was likely between the ages of 35 and 40 when she died in the mid-15th to 16th century. The extent of her leprosy lesions suggests that she contracted the disease in adulthood. 

Greenside is now the home to the Omni Centre, housing bars and restaurants. Rockstar games also have their offices in another part of the complex leading up to Leith Street.

Cork History | With Love from Cork

by Michael Lenihan

It is widely accepted that the Christian church decided to place St. Valentine’s feast day in the middle of February in an effort to “Christianise” the pagan celebration of Lupercalia. Celebrated on February 15, Lupercalia was a fertility festival dedicated to Faunus, the Roman god of agriculture, as well as to the Roman founders Romulus and Remus. Later in the day, according to legend, all the young women in the city would place their names in a big urn. The city’s bachelors would each choose a name and become paired for the year with his chosen woman. These matches often ended in marriage. The Catholic Church recognises at least three different saints named Valentine or Valentinus, all of whom were martyred. John Sprat was an Irish Carmelite Friar and well-known preacher.  He visited Rome, where he received a relic of Saint Valentine from Pope Gregory XVI, and Sprat brought the Reliquary containing the relics to his Whitefriar Street Church in Dublin where it remains to this day.

In France and England February 14 was assumed to be the beginning of the birds mating season, which added to the idea that Valentine’s Day should be a day for romance. The English poet Geoffrey Chaucer was the first to record St. Valentine’s Day as a day of romantic celebration in his 1375 poem “Parliament of Foules,” writing, “For this was Seynt on Valentyne’s day / Whan every foul cometh ther to choose his mate.” Valentine greetings were popular as far back as the Middle Ages, although written Valentines didn’t begin to appear until around 1400. The oldest known valentine still in existence  was a poem written in 1415 by Charles, Duke of Orleans to his wife while he was imprisoned in the Tower of London following his capture at the Battle of Agincourt.

In America the exchanging of hand-made valentines became very popular in the early 1700s and some wonderful early English examples exist in the Victoria & Albert Museum. By the middle of the 1800s, it was common for friends and lovers of all social classes to exchange small tokens of affection or handwritten notes, and by 1900 printed cards began to replace handwritten letters due to advances in printing technology. Ready-made cards were an easy way for people to express their emotions in a time when direct expression of one’s feelings was discouraged. An explosion of  affection in the form of Valentine cards made its way through the postal system thanks to the introduction of the penny post by Rowland Hill on 10 January1840.

Corkonians were quick to respond to cupid’s arrow and some Victorian advertisements by W. Wheeler Junior give us examples of his high-class stock of Valentine’s Day gifts. Valentines in boxes, from 3d. to £1 15s 03d containing solid silver jewellery, perfume, bottles, cards, cigar, and cigarette cases could be had from his premises at 4 & 5 Patrick Street. Another advertiser proclaimed that there was no charge for love notes to purchasers of Valentines at sixpence and upwards. Valentine novelties such as hummingbird Valentines were very popular shop window displays. W.J. Murray of George’s Street (now Oliver Plunkett Street) was doing a brisk trade in Valentine cards including those of the sentimental, poetic, refined and comic variety which could be posted nationwide post free.

The bard himself William Shakespeare mentions Saint Valentine's Day in A Midsummer Night's Dream (4.1.145) and in Hamlet, where he alludes to the superstition that if two single people meet on the morning of Saint Valentine's Day they will likely get married:

Tomorrow is St. Valentine’s Day

All in the morning betime

And I a maid at your window,

To be your Valentine.

Today, St. Valentine’s Day has become a much more commercial proposition. Bouquets of red roses, magnums of champagne, handmade chocolate, cuddly toys, organic candles, jewellery and of course the romantic candlelit meal are now standard fare. Well after all love is in the air so why not spice up your life with a little bit of romance.

Arrivals & Departures Circa AD 226 - 14 February AD 269 Celebrate Saint Valetine’s Day! Celebrate Saint Young Men’s Day!

On manga Saint Young Men Volume 4 Chapter 23, Saint Valentine is described as a saint who wants to protect lovers and kimchi. Buddha met him once on a hot-pot party back in Heaven (this event happens before Jesus and Buddha descends to Earth for their holiday in Japan). In the manga, St. Valentine is also known for his homemade kimchi, which is described as "extremely spicy". Buddha dubbed him as 'patron saint of kimchi.'

Saint Valentine (Italian: San Valentino, Latin: Valentinus) was a widely recognized 3rd-century Roman saint, commemorated in Christianity on February 14. From the High Middle Ages his Saints' Day has been associated with a tradition of courtly love. He is also a patron saint of epilepsy.

Saint Valentine was a clergyman – either a priest or a bishop – in the Roman Empire who ministered to persecuted Christians. He was martyred and his body buried at a Christian cemetery on the Via Flaminia close to the Ponte Milvio to the north of Rome, on February 14, which has been observed as the Feast of Saint Valentine (Saint Valentine's Day) since 496 AD.

Relics of him were kept in the Church and Catacombs of San Valentino in Rome, which "remained an important pilgrim site throughout the Middle Ages until the relics of St. Valentine were transferred to the church of Santa Prassede during the pontificate of Nicholas IV". His skull, crowned with flowers, is exhibited in the Basilica of Santa Maria in Cosmedin, Rome; other relics of him were taken to Whitefriar Street Carmelite Church in Dublin, Ireland, where they remain; this house of worship continues to be a popular place of pilgrimage, especially on Saint Valentine's Day, for those seeking love. For Saint Valentine of Rome, along with Saint Valentine of Terni, "abstracts of the acts of the two saints were in nearly every church and monastery of Europe", according to Professor Jack B. Oruch of the University of Kansas.

Saint Valentine is commemorated in the Anglican Communion and the Lutheran Churches on February 14. In the Eastern Orthodox Church, he is recognized on July 6; in addition, the Eastern Orthodox Church observes the feast of Hieromartyr Valentine, Bishop of Interamna, on July 30. In 1969, the Roman Catholic Church removed his name from the General Roman Calendar, leaving his liturgical celebration to local calendars, though use of the pre-1970 liturgical calendar is also authorized under the conditions indicated in the motu proprio Summorum Pontificum of 2007. The Roman Catholic Church continues to recognize him as a saint, listing him as such in the February 14 entry in the Roman Martyrology, and authorizing liturgical veneration of him on February 14 in any place where that day is not devoted to some other obligatory celebration, in accordance with the rule that on such a day the Mass may be that of any saint listed in the Martyrology for that day.

Sejarah Valentine Day

orientasi

Hari raya ini adalah salah satu hari raya bangsa Romawi Paganis (yang menyembah berhala), bangsa romawi telah menyembah berhala semenjak 17 abad silam. Jadi hari raya valentine ini adalah sebutan kepada kecintaan terhadap sesembahan mereka. Tentang sejarah valentine ini ada banyak versi yang menyebutkan, tetapi dari sekian banyak versi menyimpulkan bahwa hari valentine tidak memiliki latar belakang yang jelas sama sekali.

Peristiwa 1

Perayaan ini telah ada semenjak abad ke-4 SM, yang diadakan pada tanggal 15 februari, perayaan yang bertujuan untuk menghormati dewa yang bernama Lupercus, dewa kesuburan, yang dilambangkan setengah telanjang dan berpakaian kulit kambing. Acara ini berbentuk upacara dan di dalamnya diselingi penarikan undian untuk mencari pasangan. Dengan menarik gulungan kertas yang berisikan nama, para gadis mendapatkan pasangan. Kemudian mereka menikah untuk periode satu tahun, sesudah itu mereka bisa ditinggalkan begitu saja. Dan kalau sudah sendiri, mereka menulis namanya untuk dimasukkan ke kotak undian lagi pada upacara tahun berikutnya.

Peristiwa 2

Sementara itu, pada 14 Februari 269 M meninggallah seorang pendeta kristen yang juga dikenal sebagai tabib (dokter) yang dermawan yang bernama Valentine. Ia hidup di kerajaan yang saat itu dipimpin oleh Kaisar Claudius yang terkenal kejam. Ia sangat membenci kaisar tersebut. Claudius berambisi memiliki pasukan militer yang besar, ia ingin semua pria di kerajaannya bergabung di dalamya. Namun sayangnya keinginan ini tidak didukung. Para pria enggan terlibat dalam peperangan. Karena mereka tidak ingin meninggalkan keluarga dan kekasih hatinya. Hal ini membuat Claudius marah, dia segera memerintahkan pejabatnya untuk melakukan sebuah ide gila.

Peristiwa 3

Claudius berfikir bahwa jika pria tidak menikah, mereka akan senang hati bergabung dengan militer. Lalu Claudius melarang adanya pernikahan. Pasangan muda saat itu menganggap keputusan ini sangat tidak masuk akal. Karenanya St. Valentine menolak untuk melaksanakannya. St. Valentine tetap melaksanakan tugasnya sebagai pendeta, yaitu menikahkan para pasangan yang tengah jatuh cinta meskipun secara rahasia. Aksi ini akhirnya diketahui oleh kaisar yang segera memberinya peringatan, namun ia tidak menggubris dan tetap memberkati pernikahan dalam sebuah kapel kecil yang hanya diterangi cahaya lilin.

Peristiwa 4

Sampai pada suatu malam, ia tertangkap basah memberkati salah satu pasangan. Pasangan tersebut berhasil melarikan diri, namun malang St. Valentine tertangkap. Ia dijebloskan ke dalam penjara dan divonis hukuman mati dengan dipenggal kepalanya.

Sejak kematian Valentine (14 februari), kisahnya menyebar dan meluas, hingga tidak satu pelosok pun di daerah Roma yang tak mendengar kisah hidup dan kematiannya. Kakek dan nenek mendongengkan cerita Santo Valentine pada anak dan cucunya sampai pada tingkat pengkultusan. Ketika agama Katolik mulai berkembang, para pemimipin gereja ingin turut andil dalam peran tersebut. Untuk mensiasatinya, mereka mencari tokoh baru sebagai pengganti Dewa Kasih Sayang, Lupercus. Akhirnya mereka menemukan pengganti Lupercus, yaitu Santo Valentine.

Peristiwa 5

Di tahun 494 M, Paus Gelasius I mengubah upacara Lupercaria yang dilaksanakan setiap 15 Februari menjadi perayaan resmi pihak gereja. Dua tahun kemudian, sang Paus mengganti tanggal perayaan tersebut menjadi 14 Februari yang bertepatan dengan tanggal matinya Santo Valentine sebagai bentuk penghormatan dan pengkultusan kepada Santo Valentine. Dengan demikian perayaan Lupercaria sudah tidak ada lagi dan diganti dengan "Valentine Days". Sisa-sisa kerangka yang digali dari makam Santo Hyppolytus dia Via Tibertinus dekat Roma, diidentifikasikan sebagai jenazah St. Valentinus. Kemudian ditaruh dalam sebuah peti emas dan dikirim ke gereja Whitefriar Street Carmelite Church di Dublin, Irlandia. Jenazah ini telah diberikan kepada mereka oleh Paus Gregorius XVI pada 1836.

Komplikasi

Banyak wisatawan sekarang yang berziarah ke gereja ini pada hari Valentine, di mana peti emas diarak-arak dalam sebuah prosesi khusyuk dan dibawa ke sebuah altar tinggi. Pada hari itu sebuah misa khusus diadakan dan dipersembahkan kepada para muda-mudi dan mereka yang sedang menjalin hubungan cinta. Hari raya ini dihapus dari kalender gerejawi pada tahun 1969 sebagai bagian dari sebuah usaha yang lebih luas untuk menghapus santo-santa yang asal-muasalnya bisa dipertanyakan dan hanya berbasis legenda saja. Namun pesta ini masih dirayakan pada paroki-paroki tertentu.

Sesuai perkembangannya, Hari Kasih Sayang tersebut menjadi semacam rutinitas ritual bagi kaum gereja untuk dirayakan. Agar tidak kelihatan formal, peringatan ini dibungkus dengan hiburan atau pesta-pesta.

#OTD in Irish History | 14 February:

St Valentine’s Day, commonly shortened to Valentine’s Day, is a holiday observed on 14 February. Many churches claim to be Valentine’s final resting place, including the Carmelite Church on Whitefriar Street in Dublin.

Birthday on Valentine's Day Cards from Greeting Card

Sacred individual Valentine's Day is an authority eat up day in the Anglican Communion and the Lutheran Church.Many parts of the Eastern Orthodox Church in like manner watch Saint Valentine's Day, yet on July 6 and July 30, the past date out of gratefulness for the Roman presbyter Saint Valentine, and the last date to pay tribute to Hieromartyr Valentine, the Bishop of Interamna (present day Terni).

Different early Christian holy people were named Valentine. The Valentines regarded on February 14 are Valentine of Rome (Valentinus presb. m. Romae) and Valentine of Terni (Valentinus ep. Interamnensis m. Romae). Valentine of Rome was a pastor in Rome who was martyred in 269 and was added to the logbook of sacred individuals by Pope Galesius in 496 and was secured on the Via Flaminia. 

The relics of Saint Valentine were kept in the Church and Catacombs of San Valentino in Rome, which "remained a basic pioneer site all through the Middle Ages until the relics of St. Valentine were traded to the assemblage of Santa Prassede in the midst of the pontificate of Nicholas IV". The bloom assigned skull of Saint Valentine is shown in the Basilica of Santa Maria in Cosmedin, Rome. Diverse relics are found at Whitefriar Street Carmelite Church in Dublin, Ireland

Valentine of Terni pushed toward getting to be cleric of Interamna and is said to have been martyred in the midst of the mistreatment under Emperor Aurelian in 273. He is secured on the Via Flaminia, anyway in a substitute region from Valentine of Rome. His relics are at the Basilica of Saint Valentine in Terni (Basilica di San Valentino). Jack B. Oruch states that "adjusted works of the showings of the two blessed individuals were in about every gathering and shelter of Europe." 

The Catholic Encyclopedia furthermore discusses a third sacred individual named Valentine who was referenced in early martyrologies under date of February 14. He was martyred in Africa with different sidekicks, yet nothing more is pondered him. Holy person Valentine's head was spared in the cloister of New Minster, Winchester, and loved.

February 14 is adulated as St. Valentine's Day in various Christian segments; it has, for example, the situation of 'recognition' in the calendar of sacred individuals in the Anglican Communion.what's more, the eat up day of Saint Valentine is moreover given in the logbook of blessed individuals of the Lutheran Church. Nonetheless, in the 1969 refresh of the Roman Catholic Calendar of Saints, the eat up day of Saint Valentine on February 14 was removed from the General Roman Calendar and relegated to explicit (close-by or even national) date-books for the going with reason: "Anyway the commitment of Saint Valentine is old, it is left to explicit date-books, since, beside his name, nothing is thought about Saint Valentine except for that he was secured on the Via Flaminia on February 14."

The eat up day is up 'til now celebrated in Balzan (Malta) where relics of the heavenly individual are affirmed to be found, and besides all through the world by Traditionalist Catholics who seek after the more prepared, pre-Second Vatican Council logbook.

[sylromfrenchdesigner-blog]

On Saint Valentine's Day in Ireland, many individuals who seek true love make a Christian pilgrimage to the Shrine of St. Valentine in Whitefriar Street Carmelite Church in Dublin, which is said to house relics of Saint Valentine of Rome; they pray at the shrine in hope of finding romance.
