Paul Shares the Gospel with Lydia

This illustration shows the apostle Paul speaking warmly with Lydia, a woman dressed in purple garments and a head covering that reflects her association with the purple cloth trade. Paul gestures as if teaching or explaining the message of Christ, while Lydia listens with attentive hands and an open expression. The subject connects closely with the account in Acts where Lydia, a worshiper of God from Thyatira, hears Paul’s message and responds in faith. This image is well suited for Sunday school lessons, Bible story materials, women in Scripture studies, missions teaching, and resources about the early church in Philippi.
