    n 1: an ancient region on the coast of western Asia Minor; a

Lydia
   (1.) Ezek. 30:5 (Heb. Lud), a province in the west of Asia
   Minor, which derived its name from the fourth son of Shem (Gen.
   10:22). It was bounded on the east by the greater Phrygia, and
   on the west by Ionia and the AEgean Sea.
   
     (2.) A woman of Thyatira, a "seller of purple," who dwelt in
   Philippi (Acts 16:14, 15). She was not a Jewess but a proselyte.
   The Lord opened her heart as she heard the gospel from the lips
   of Paul (16:13). She thus became the first in Europe who
   embraced Christianity. She was a person apparently of
   considerable wealth, for she could afford to give a home to Paul
   and his companions. (See THYATIRA.)
