medieval-religion: Scholarly discussions of medieval religion and culture If you are interested at all in post-medieval developments in the cult of St. Valentine, you might like to know that his relics are venerated in the Carmelite Church on Whitefriar Street in Dublin: http://carmelites.ie/Ireland/Whitefriar%20St/valentine.htm ------- Mr. Johan Bergström-Allen Carmelite Projects & Publications Office, York E-mail: <mailto:[log in to unmask]> [log in to unmask] _____ From: medieval-religion - Scholarly discussions of medieval religious culture [mailto:[log in to unmask]] On Behalf Of Patricia Cullum Sent: 08 February 2006 09:09 To: [log in to unmask] Subject: [M-R] St Valentine medieval-religion: Scholarly discussions of medieval religion and culture Help! The publicity person at my institution has decreed that I will demonstrate the University’s expertise by writing a short piece on St Valentine for the local press - by tomorrow. I have already discovered that there were several St Valentines and am about to have a burrow through Phyllis’s previous postings but would be grateful for anything anyone knows about any of these saints. I can do the late medieval stuff and why it is entirely an accident that St Valentine is associated with love, but would be interested if there is any evidence of an early cultus, or indeed of a surviving cult that is separate from the annual love fest. With thanks in advance, and am happy to post a copy of whatever I come up with. Dr Pat Cullum, Head of History, University of Huddersfield, Huddersfield. HD1 3DH Tel.
