History
Aquila and Priscilla were
tentmakers who were two of the first Christians. They moved to Corinth, where
Saint Paul stayed with them and helped them make tents when he wasn’t preaching
about Jesus. Aquila and Priscilla also instructed people about Jesus. One of
the most important things about Aquila and Priscilla was that they worked
together as tentmaker and as teachers of the Gospel. Before Jesus, women were
not considered equal to men. Jesus showed us that God loves women as much as He
loves men, and that He calls women to serve the Church, too.
Activity
Today, be tentmakers just like Aquila and Priscilla. Work in
teams of two to make tents by draping sheets over tables or chairs, etc. You
can also use small pieces of fabric to make tents for your dolls, action
figures and stuffed animals.
