Who was -
Salome -
Salome was the mother of two disciples, James and John (Mark 10:35). She was Zebedee's wife and the Virgin Mary's sister (Jesus' aunt). Salome was a devoted follower of Christ. When most of the disciples fled as Jesus was being crucified, Salome not only went to Calvary to witness the crucifixion, but she also stayed until the agonizing end (Matthew 27:54-56; Mark 15:40; Luke 23:49; John 19:25). Three days later, she visited Jesus' tomb to anoint His body but found the grave empty (Mark 16:1-8). Not to be confused with Salome, the daughter of Herod Philip and Herodias, who asked for the head of John the Baptist.
