Pricilla and Aquila

Priscilla and Aquila stand together as a devoted husband-and-wife team from the early church. Aquila appears behind Priscilla in a simple head covering and work-worn garment, while Priscilla is shown in front with a calm, attentive expression, emphasizing their shared faith and partnership in ministry. The composition honors their place in the New Testament as Jewish believers, tentmakers, and co-laborers with Paul after their arrival from Rome.

Their story in Acts presents a marriage shaped by hospitality, labor, teaching, and courage. They welcomed Paul into their trade, traveled in service of the gospel, and later explained “the way of God more accurately” to Apollos. This image is well suited for teaching on Christian marriage, lay ministry, discipleship, women in the early church, and the faithful service of ordinary believers who strengthened the mission of Christ through home, work, and doctrine.
