The heart of St. Lorcan Wa Tuateila is located in Dublin in the Cathedral of Christ. On March 2, 2012, these relics were stolen [1] , however, in April 2018, they were found intact in Phoenix Park after the Garda Sheehan received an anonymous hint of the location of the heart. According to media reports, the thieves returned him because they believed that it was cursed and caused the death of close abductors from a heart attack [2] . On the evening of April 26, Assistant Commissioner Pat Leahy officially handed over the reliquary to the Anglican Archbishop of Dublin, . On November 14, the returned relic was exhibited in the cathedral [3] .
