Silence Priest or Purify Priest is a Priest deck type that is characterized by using Silence effects on one's own minions to change cards with serious drawbacks (such as "Can't attack") into cheap high-stat minions. The deck type has been tried at least since the Karazhan expansion, with people trying to make a deck around 
Purify, generally considered a very bad card, but it gained enough popularity to become part of the meta after the release of Journey to Un'Goro.
Gameplay
The idea of the deck is to play cards that cannot attack (such as 
Ancient Watcher), which then are silenced with Silence, Purify or other silence effects, and/or receive taunt through cards such as Sunfury Protector. Another card used often is Inner Fire, which when played on 
Humongous Razorleaf creates a very strong minion. With a perfect draw, 
The Coin and Humongous Razorleaf can be played on turn 2, followed by Silence, Divine Spirit, and Inner Fire, producing a 16/16 minion attacking on turn 3.
