Who is Saint Prisca?
Saint Prisca was a Roman young woman allegedly tortured and executed for her Christian faith. Her dates are unknown. She is revered as a pre-schism Western saint and martyr by the Orthodox Church and as a saint and a martyr by the Roman Catholic Church and the Anglican Communion. Though some legends suggest otherwise, scholars do not believe she is the Priscilla of the New Testament couple, Priscilla and Aquila, who were friends of the Apostle Paul.
Especially in England, she is honored as a child martyr. January eighteenth is her feast day.
