Who was -
Salome - Salome was the mother of the disciples James and John (Mark 10:35). She was the wife of Zebedee and the sister of the Virgin Mary, making her Jesus' aunt. Salome was a devoted follower of Christ and, as we see in this passage, asked Jesus for a favor.
On the day of Jesus' crucifixion, while most of the disciples were in hiding, Salome went to Calvary and remained with Mary 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 and found the empty grave (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.
