The term "Galatian" refers to the people of Galatia, an ancient region in central Anatolia, now part of modern-day Turkey. The Galatians were originally Celtic tribes that migrated to the area around the 3rd century BCE. They played a significant role in the history of Asia Minor and were known for their warrior culture. In a religious context, "Galatian" is often associated with the Epistle to the Galatians, a letter in the New Testament written by the Apostle Paul. This letter addresses issues of faith and the importance of grace, emphasizing that salvation comes through faith in Jesus Christ rather than adherence to the Jewish law.
