ADDITIONAL SAINT INFO: Saint Lydia Purpuraria 1st Century Feast Day: May 20 (new), August 3 (trad) Patronage: dyers Saint Lydia was Saint Paul's first known convert & 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 & 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, & the Lord opened her heart to pay attention to what Paul was saying. After she & her household had been baptized, she offered us an invitation, "If you consider me a believer in the Lord, come & stay at my home," & she prevailed on us. -Acts 16:13-15 ©Tracy L.
