Such a sense of history. You can feel the ancient energy, but the baptisery is the focal point. Such vibrant tile work inside the marble building While on a pilgrimage tour of Greece, me and my group stopped by this Greek Orthodox near the ancient ruins of Philippi. This is built on the where St. Lydia of Thyatira was by St. Paul the Apostle when the latter was visiting Philippi during his missionary journey. Pilgrims can sprinkle on themselves water from the Zygaktis River and also visit the nearby chapel dedicated to St. Lydia. There is also a gift shop and restrooms near the entrance. It is with colorful stained glass and art works. Worthy visiting. Do spend time outdoor by the river where people gather for as well. Nice and quiet area. Recommended Saint Lydia' s baptistry church. An amazing pilgrimage in close proximity to the Philippi archaeological and museum. Visit the baptismal of Saint Lydia by Saint Paul at Zygaktis river. A great religious and spiritual experience. It is located in Philippi, Greece. We visited there on Sunday. was opened, and many groups are doing service. Must visit and follow like her!! Acts 16:14-15 describes Lydia, a God-fearing woman from Thyatira, who was converted to Christianity by Paul's message and subsequently along with her household. After her conversion and baptism, she invited Paul and Silas to stay at her house. -Lydia's Conversion: In Philippi, while Paul was preaching at a river, Lydia, a seller of purple cloth and a worshiper of God, listened to his message. Bible Study Tools says she was a worshiper of God. -The Lord opened her heart: The Lord opened her heart to respond to Paul's message, indicating that she was receptive to the gospel. Baptism: Following her conversion, Lydia and her entire household were baptized. -Invitation to Stay: After the baptism, Lydia extended an invitation to Paul and Silas, saying, "If you consider me a believer in the Lord, come and stay at my house". -Persuasion: She then prevailed upon them to accept her invitation. Significance: Lydia's conversion and hospitality are significant because -she became the first Christian convert in Europe and her house became a place here the Philippian met. An important religious Christian location where the first European Christian, Lydia, was by the Apostle Paul. The takes place next to a small stream that passes near the church. The location is particularly beautiful, well maintained and induces a feeling of tranquility and peace of mind. The archaeological and the museum of Philippi are also nearby. All in all, it is a must-see destination if you come to the Kavala area. Truly a remarkable place for any Christian to visit. Dust off your Bible and visit the place where Paul Lydia. This find blew us away! I had no clue how surreal an experience we would have here. Apparently, St. Paul his first converts here, including Lydia, in this creek. Our group remembered our here at the cross portion where the water was flowing. There is a on site, and they have a surprisingly good gift shop. We purchased several unique gifts I saw nowhere else in my two weeks in Greece. This was such a special, sacred that it ended up being one of the most meaningful stops. I can't recommend this enough. And it is so close to the ruins of ancient Philippi. Very chapel with the of Saint Lydia, entrance free, nice garden surroundings, plenty of parking space. A baptistery, in a tranquil and serene place. Amazing place to visit when visiting Kavala and surroundings. St Paul arrived there and moved to Philippi, a major town in the 1st century. The is and the splits the nearby stream in such a picturesque way. VERY peaceful and nice place. The art and icons are mesmerizing amd the stay ay the river was so relaxing. We really enjoyed it here. This traditional of Lydia’s water is just a few minutes away on foot from the archaeological of Philippi. I was there in high summer and the temperature went up to almost 40 degrees Celsius. However, this serene place was cooling and the chilling river water was refreshing. Highly recommended.
