Salome (disciple)
Salome ( [za ː lome ], rare [ zalomə ] ), and Mary Salome Salome or from Galilee, after presentation of the New Testament was a disciple of Jesus. It belonged, according to Mark's Gospel to the women who attended the crucifixion of Jesus ( Mk 15:40 EU) and who came first to the empty grave after his resurrection (Mark 16.1 EU).
In the Christian tradition Salome is identified as the mother of the apostles James and John, because the Gospel of Matthew instead of a "Salome" one of the women under the cross as the " mother of the sons of Zebedee " referred to (Mt 27,56 EU). Thus, it would be the wife of Zebedee as the father of the two apostles.
In the apocryphal Secret Gospel of Mark Salome is mentioned one more time ( 10,46 ). This could be an indication that Salome in the New Testament tradition originally had a greater significance, but this was reduced retroactively by deletions. In apocryphal texts such as the Gospel of Thomas and the Greek Gospel of the Egyptians Salome is even expressly stated in two dialogues with Jesus as his disciple.
According to tradition, Salome had fled together with Mary Cleophas and Sara -la -Kali before a persecution of Christians on a ship from Israel and landed at the place in southern France, which is now named after them Saintes- Maries- de -la -Mer. According to another legend Salome came to Veroli in central Italy, whose patron she is today.
Salome is also revered as a saint.
