From three years ago - BBC News | UK | St Valentine remembered
If St Valentine's day proves nothing else it is that love can thrive in the unlikeliest of places.
And it does not come much more unlikely than a monastery in one of Scotland's most deprived inner city areas.
But friars at the church of Blessed St John Duns Scotus in Glasgow's Gorbals area have held a special Valentine's service on Sunday, putting on display what are thought to be the martyr's bones.
And they are hoping the relics could help make Glasgow Europe's city of love.
In fact, Glasgow has proclaimed itslef to be 'City of Love' and you can check out the Glasgow City Council - Web Cameras in George Square to see the huge fairground ferris wheel that's at the centre of the celebrations. If you look carefully, web cam #1 shows the red heart at the centre of the wheel Aah! ;-)
