Cultural and Historical Background: Thyatira was an ancient city located in what is now modern-day Turkey. It was known for its trade and commerce, particularly in textiles and dyeing, with the purple dye industry being especially prominent. The city was situated on a major road connecting Pergamum and Laodicea, making it a hub for trade and cultural exchange. Thyatira was also known for its guilds, which were associations of craftsmen and merchants. These guilds often held religious significance, as they were associated with various pagan deities, which posed challenges for early Christians living there.
