Lydia the Macedonian was the most significant "discovery" among the Bible's forgotten women. She was the women that provided the purple linen for the entire Senate of the Roman Empire.\nThe moment Apostle Paul appeared on the Macedonian ground\, following the famous "Appeal of the Macedonian" with the equally sentence: Come to Macedonia and save us. Fear from inside and threats from outside\, is the moment when the message of the Christianity turns from Palestinian into a universal message that attracts every non-Christian nation in the world. That is very moment of the beginning of the modern history of the human kind: Christianization of the Europe and the World\nLydia\, the Macedonian\, (that is her precise name in the Bible) was the first woman\, the first person at all\, Christianized by Apostle Paul on this two thousand year long odyssey. Thus\, the house of Lydia \, the Macedonian\, becomes the First European Church and in the world\, too. A chorus of Angels comes to that House-Church to tell the story of the „Love Civilization\,\, from His Birth till the Crucifixion and the Ascension for salvation of the entire humankind\nLydia from Macedonia - Synopsis\nFirst Act\nDesert. The Apostle Paul\, whose legs are bleeding from the long walk\, meets a man who is actually a God's Angel.\nThe Angel eases the pain of the man and invites him to go to Macedonia and help those who live in great pain and suffer. Paul promises that he will go.\nPhilippi. A city in Macedonia that is ruled by immorality and is under the torture of the Roman soldiers. The Apostle Paul arrives in Philippi\, accompanied by Silas and Timothy\, and is appalled by the immorality and the people who have no perspective. He meets thieves\, prostitutes\, murderers and self interested soldiers. There is a fire\, but no one wants to help to put it out. The Apostle Paul\, horrified from the sight\, abandons the city.\nOn the riverbank\, Lydia\, Asia\, Agia\, and Dina\, paint a white cloth with a purple color while Paul\, Silas and Timothy approach them. Paul baptizes Lydia.\nSecond Act\nLydia's house. Lydia announces to everyone that in her house she allows to have preaching and have people baptized in the Religion of the Only God\, Jesus Christ.\nAt the same time in the Roman Senate\, Cesar announces an edict\, with which he obliges all the Senators to be wear purple colored togas\, made with the cloth produced in Macedonia.\nThe Apostle Paul continues with the preaching and the baptizing\, but is spied by lkia\, who falsely presents herself as a believer. Paul is betrayed and is locked up by the Roman soldiers.\n- PAUSE -\nThird Act\nPaul\, Silas and Timothy are in prison. Lydia comes in front of the prison walls followed by a crowd of people. They all together pray to God for salvation. At that moment there is an earthquake. The walls of the prison fall down\, but no one is hurt. Paul\, Silas and Timothy are free and at the same time Lydia arrives and tells them that the Roman Praetorians decided to set them free. Thanking God\, they start moving towards the city where a crowd of people\, that has greater faith in God\, meets them.\nFourth Act\nLydia is preparing the horse caravan loaded with purple cloth. Smiling kids accompany her\, but one of them steps in front and falls down under the hoof of one of the horses. Everybody thinks that the child is dead\, but Lydia believes in God's savior\, even though everybody blames her for the child's death.\nThe Roman soldiers accompany the child's mother. The mother blames Lydia\, while the soldiers announce that she will be executed.\nIn that moment the Apostle Paul comes and with one movement of his hand the child becomes alive\, and happily throws himself into Lydia's arms. The mother is thrilled and Lydia announces that it is brought to life together with the one that lives in him\, Jesus Christ. Paul\, Timothy and Silas greet the people before they leave. They bless Lydia promising that she will be eternally mentioned. Lydia names them as the Three Suns of Macedonia Apostle Paul announces that Macedonia is the country selected by God\, and from here\, from Macedonia the New Testament will be spread.\n
