God is my strength... "Psalms 28:7"
I do not dispute the validity of his being a Christian.
""Since Legenda Aurea still provided no connections whatsoever with sentimental love, appropriate lore has been embroidered in modern times to portray Valentine as a priest who refused an unattested law attributed to Roman Emperor Claudius II, allegedly ordering that young men remain single. The Emperor supposedly did this to grow his army, believing that married men did not make for good soldiers. The priest Valentine, however, secretly performed marriage ceremonies for young men. When Claudius found out about this, he had Valentine arrested and thrown in jail.
There is an additional modern embellishment to The Golden Legend, provided by American Greetings to History.com, and widely repeated despite having no historical basis whatsoever. On the evening before Valentine was to be executed, he would have written the first "valentine" card himself, addressed to a young girl variously identified as his beloved, as the jailer's daughter whom he had befriended and healed, or both. It was a note that read "From your Valentine.""
Myth probably wasn't the appropriate word, it's just that through reading more of the history of it, shows that there is no truth to it since what the truth was, was stretched out to make it sound better as I underlined. There is no truth in it if was added on with no factual evidence. It sounds nice but I don't believe it.
...God is my joy "Psalms 96:11-13"
