Ah, I probably should have clarified-Christianity is an extremely prominent monotheistic religion in my world. It's part of a tradition that encompasses three religions--Judaism was the first form of the religion practiced by the Israelites, and is effectively a predecessor to Christianity. The religion is named for the son of the Judaic god, Jesus Christ, who sacrificed himself to save humanity from its sins. Christianity branched off from Judaism while Israel was under the rule of the Roman Empire, and in its infancy was harshly persecuted due to its monotheistic bent. Saint Valentinus was martyred for ministering Christian weddings and healed the daughter of his jailer prior to his execution, which is why his feast day is associated with romance.
I apologize if any of that was confusing--it's a topic that most of the people in my world are familiar with to some degree, so I tend to take it for granted that people already know about it. If you have any questions, feel free to ask.

I never said that.
