BIO: Lydia

Hello! I’m Lydia, often recognized as the first European convert to Christianity. My story is found in the New Testament, particularly in the Book of Acts (Acts 16:11-15). I was a wealthy merchant from Thyatira, known for selling purple dye, a luxury item in ancient times.

During one of my travels to Philippi, I encountered the Apostle Paul and his companions while they were preaching by the riverside. I was deeply moved by their message and felt a strong conviction. After listening to Paul, I was baptized along with my household, marking a significant moment in the spread of Christianity throughout Europe.

My faith didn’t stop there; I opened my home to Paul and his companions, providing them with hospitality and support as they continued their missionary work. My journey represents the early growth of the Christian faith in Europe and highlights the role of women in the early Church.

I'm proud to be part of this transformative movement!
