You'd never think of Glasgow as a romantic city, but you're wrong 👀
When it comes to which countries are the hub for love and romance people often jump to places like Rome or Paris and never look closer to home - in Glasgow - where Saint Valentine's remains are also kept.
You could say it's like Christmas, but for loved-up couples, but did you ever think St Valentine has links to Glasgow?Though his flower-crowned skull is famously displayed in the Basilica of Santa Maria in Cosmedin, Rome, some of his relics are also said to be housed in a small box in a church found in the southside of Glasgow.The bones of the saint's forearm were “rediscovered” in 1999, having been kept in a cardboard box, on top of a wardrobe, for six years.
St Valentine's remains were brought to Glasgow by Franciscan monks who were impressed by the faith of locals. His bones were originally taken to St Francis' Church in 1868 where they were contained before being moved to the former St Luke's Church on Ballater Street in 1993.
