Answer 2

There is no historical evidence to suggest that Saint Lydia Purpurana was married. According to Christian tradition, she was a wealthy businesswoman in Philippi who converted to Christianity after hearing Saint Paul preach.

Answer 3

There is nothing in either scripture or tradition that answers that question. However, it was rare for a married woman to work outside of the household so she probably was not married.

Answer 4

When a person has the title 'Saint' before their name, they are dead. That is the first requirement for being named a saint. Lydia has been dead about 2000 years.

Lydia has only a brief mention in the Acts of the Apostles. Her manner and date of death are not recorded.
