She was the first European converted to Christ under the preaching of Paul at Philippi (Acts 16:14). As a "seller of purple," she was probably quite wealthy (Acts 16:12-15,50).

Who started the church in Phillipi?

i found the following while searching the web: "[Apostle] Paul had a vision in which a man of Macedonia plead with Paul to come help him. Paul and his companions thus traveled to the city of Philippi in Macedonia. Paul baptized a woman named Lydia and her household in Philippi. Lydia was a seller of purple cloth, which was expensive.

Who was the lady in the bible that sold material?

I think you are referring to LYDIA This woman and her household were among the first persons in Europe to accept Christianity as a result of the apostle Paul's activity at Philippi in about 50 C.E. Originally she lived at Thyatira, a city in Asia Minor known for its dyeing industry. Later, at Philippi in Macedonia, Lydia sold purple, either the dye or garments and fabrics colored therewith. It appears that she was the head of her household (this could include slaves and servants), and therefore, she was possibly widowed or single.-Ac 16:14, 15.
