[edit]From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary (public domain):
- A woman of Thyatira, a "seller of purple," who dwelt in Philippi (Acts 16:14, 15). She was not a Jewess but a proselyte. The Lord opened her heart as she heard the gospel from the lips of Paul (16:13). She thus became the first in Europe who embraced Christianity. She was a person apparently of considerable wealth, for she could afford to give a home to Paul and his companions.

Lydia of Macedonia
[edit]in ortodox bible she is called Lydia of Macedonia or Macedonian woman named Lydia. here's a quote from ortodoxwiki.org: The words of The Acts quoted below describe Lydia’s meeting with the Apostle Paul on his second missionary journey about the year 50. Paul and his companions started their journey visiting the established churches in western Asia Minor when he answered a vision in which he saw a man dressed in a Macedonian manner calling upon him to “Come over to Macedonia and help us.“89.205.2.29 (talk) 23:21, 7 December 2013 (UTC)
