Lydia worked as a seller of purple-dyed clothing in Thyatira, though it is not clear what position, if any, she held. When Saints Paul, Silas, and Timothy journeyed through Philippi, she offered them shelter and was converted. She continued to let other travellers and believers use her home as a Christian center.
