Happy Feast DaySaint Lydia Purpuraria1st CenturyFeast Day: May 20 (New), August 3 (Trad)Patronage: dyersSt. Lydia was Saint Paul’s first known convert and the seller of purple cloth, as mentioned in the New Testament: On the Sabbath, we went outside the city gate along the river where we thought there would be a place of prayer. We sat and spoke with the women who had gathered there. One of them, a woman named Lydia, a dealer in purple cloth, from the city of Thyatira, a worshiper of God, listened, and the Lord opened her heart to pay attention to what Paul was saying. After she and her household had been baptized, she offered us an invitation, “If you consider me a believer in the Lord, come and stay at my home,” and she prevailed on us. -Acts 16:13-15{website} -- source link
