Lydia of Thyatira was the first recorded convert to Christianity in Europe
"Lydia" was probably not her real name. She was from Thyatira, which was formerly in the ancient Kingdom of Lydia before it was incorporated into the Roman Province of Asia. As Thyatira was still considered to be Lydia, she was perhaps called "Lydia" or the "Lydian lady". She was also a key person in the establishment and development of the church in Philippi (the key city in region of Macedonia). The Bible also describes her as a "dealer in purple cloth".
More information:
As mentioned, Acts 16:14+15 tells us that Lydia was a 'seller of purple'(KJV) from Macedonia, who listened to Paul during one of his preaching tours. The scripture says that God 'opened her heart' to pay attention to the things spoken by Paul, and she and her whole household were baptized as Christians. She is known and remembered for her appreciation and hospitality because she invited the apostles to her home and 'persuaded' or 'constrained' them. She just MADE them come. She was a faithful 'sister' sharing her home with the congregation even during difficult times(Acts 16:40). At the time she met Paul, she was living in Europe selling 'purple' (purple cloth and garments, and probably the dye itself). The term 'seller of purple' ("dealer in purple cloth"(NIV))signifies that she was a merchant, probably of some prominence, since she had a home large enough for the 'brothers' to meet in, and her occupation dealt with a costly item. The scriptures say that she was originally from Thyatira (now called 'Akhisar',150 miles from Istanbul). It was a city in Asia Minor famous for it's dyes, particularly it's scarlet or purple color made from the 'madder root'. 'Purple' dye was VERY costly, and often associated with wealth and royalty (Luke 16:19).
