Salome (Disciple)

Saint Salome was one of the holy women who followed Jesus and supported his ministry in the Gospels. She is traditionally identified as the wife of Zebedee and the mother of James the Greater and John the Evangelist. Salome is noted for her faithful presence at the Crucifixion and for being among the Myrrh-bearing women who discovered the empty tomb. Her devotion and courage have made her an example for Christian mothers and women.
