Priscilla
Priscilla is an English female given name adopted from the Roman Prisca, derived from the Latin priscus . One suggestion is that it is intended to bestow long life on the bearer.
It appears in the New Testament of the Christian Bible variously as Priscilla and Prisca, a female leader in the early Church. The name appears in English literature in Edmund Spenser's The Faerie Queene (1596) and was adopted as an English name by the Puritans in the 17th century. The use of the name began to decline during the 1960s, possibly because of an association with the slang term prissy, in the sense of meaning prim or prudish.
Diminutive forms of the name include Lily, Cilla, Pris, Prissy, Prisk, Pru/Prue and Scilla.
Priscilla may refer to:
Gladiolus 'Priscilla'
Gladiolus 'Priscilla' is a cultivar of Gladiolus which features tricolored flowers: their white background is accented with rose-pink along the slightly ruffled edges and a soft yellow throat. These eye-catching florets (over a dozen per stem) are arranged on strong and erect spikes adorned by pointed sword-like leaves. Blooming in mid to late summer, this Gladiolus grows up to 4 - 5 feet tall (120 - 150 cm).

Priscilla and Aquila
Priscilla (/prᵻˈsɪlə/) and Aquila (/ˈækwᵻlə/) were a first century Christian missionary married couple described in the New Testament and traditionally listed among the Seventy Disciples. They lived, worked, and traveled with the Apostle Paul, who described them as his "fellow workers in Christ Jesus" (Romans 16:3 NASB).
Priscilla and Aquila are described in the New Testament as providing a presence that strengthened the early Christian churches. Paul was generous in his recognition and acknowledgment of his indebtedness to them (Rom. 16:3-4). Together, they are credited with instructing Apollos, a major evangelist of the first century, and "[explaining] to him the way of God more accurately" (Acts 18:26).
It has been conjectured, in light of her apparent prominence, that Priscilla held the office of pastor. She is also thought by some to be the anonymous author of the Epistle to the Hebrews.
New Testament references
They are mentioned seven times in four different books of the New Testament. They are always named as a couple and never individually. Of those seven references, Priscilla's name is mentioned first on five occasions (as shown in italics in the list below), which is conspicuously unusual for such a male-dominant society. Throughout Scripture, the man is usually mentioned first; e.g., Adam and Eve, Ananias and Sapphira, making the four appearances of Priscilla's name first a notable exception.

Priscilla
by: Suzanne VegaShe'd come to my house
and dance in the hall
with the music up loud
against the light on the wall
I danced beside her
feeling no shame
we were in costume
and this was a game
She'd put on her skirt
of layers of chiffon
the top of the umbrella had come off
so I put that on
We'd dance together then
an awkward ballet
she was 20 years older than I was
but still we did play
She was 20 years older than me
and many times my size
but it's her little feet I remember
and the look in her eyes
Once when I saw her
she made me a doll
of ribbon and paper and ink
and lace, I recall
I danced beside her
feeling no shame
we were in costume
and this was a game
I think of her now I'm older
I still love to dance
something will shine through the body
