It seems that the relics of Saint Valentine that are kept at the Catholic Church of the Greek island of Lesvos attract couples from all over the world that decide to get married there.

It’s been a long time since a wedding was carried out at the Catholic church, but the recent restoration of the Cathedral-monument and the discovery of the holy relics of Saint Valentine has created a new tourism potential, that of wedding tourism.

Marek Gitrowski and Fiona Jeganaphan, a distinguished biochemist and cancer researcher, decided to get married on Lesvos . As they said, the refugees problem and the negative promotion of the island did not affect at all their decision, while the groom’s mother, who has Greek roots, said she was very happy that they decided to get married there.

The couple lives in England but they have friends and relatives all over the world who arrived on Lesvos to attend the ceremony.

Many couples from around the world have announced that they will get married at the Catholic Cathedral of Lesvos in 2016, including the princess of Thailand.
