The catacomb features two scenes said by proponents of the women's
ordination movement to show women priests: One in the ochre-hued Greek
Chapel features a group of women celebrating a banquet. Another fresco
in a richly decorated burial chamber features a woman, dressed in a
dalmatic - a cassock-like robe - with her hands up in the position used
by priests for public worship.

Vatican Unveils Frescoes With Images Some Say Show Early Women Priests
Last Tuesday, the Vatican unveiled newly restored frescoes in the
Catacombs of Priscilla, known for housing the earliest known image of
the Madonna with Child - and frescoes said by some to show women priests in the early Christian church.
The catacomb features two scenes said by proponents of the women's
ordination movement to show women priests: One in the ochre-hued Greek
Chapel features a group of women celebrating a banquet. Another fresco
in a richly decorated burial chamber features a woman, dressed in a
dalmatic - a cassock-like robe - with her hands up in the position used
by priests for public worship.
