(CNN) -- The heart of a 900-year-old saint has vanished from Christ Church Cathedral in Dublin, Ireland, police and the Cathedral said.

St. Laurence O'Toole's heart was kept in a heart-shaped wooden box in a cage bolted to a wall in Saint Lauds Chapel, Irish police said.

It disappeared between Friday evening and Saturday noon, police said.

Adding to the mystery, there was no sign of a break-in or of damage, police told CNN.

Nothing was taken from the chapel other than the heart, although Irish media said there were gold candesticks and other valuables there.

Cathedral staff called the disappearance of the relic "truly awful and strange" and said they were "shocked and saddened."

St. Laurence O'Toole was born in 1128, lived until 1180, and was made a saint in 1225, according to the Catholic Encyclopedia.

Catholics often preserve body parts from saints, believing they should be venerated. When Pope John Paul II was declared "blessed" -- a step below sainthood -- last year, a vial of his blood was displayed as a relic.


So guys a lost heart

Doesn't really matter much. Most cathedrals had bones and blood of these Saints.

@sil4nc3r

Yes, it TOTALLY doesn't matter that a 900-year-old heart is stolen. Just like it TOTALLY didn't matter that someone lugged a 4 ton statue of Jesus out of a cathedral, plus Eucharist dishes.

How do you know this isn't another fake? Monasteries and cathedral have been conning for a long time, claiming they have the blood of Jesus, body bits of famous Saints, parts of the true cross. And btw, most people couldn't care less for the heart of some guy. Christians aren't idol worshippers y'know.
