Eastern Orthodox icon of the two Marys and Salome at the Tomb of Jesus (Kizhi, 18th century) Crucifixion, from the Buhl Altarpiece, 1490s. Salome is one of the two leftmost women with a halo. In the New Testament, Salome was a follower of Jesus who appears briefly in the canonical gospels and in apocryphal writings. She is named by Mark as present at the crucifixion and as one of the Myrrhbearers, the women who found Jesus's empty tomb. Interpretation has further identified her with other women who are mentioned but not named in the canonical gospels. In particular, she is often identified as the wife of Zebedee, the mother of James and John, two of the Twelve apostles. In medieval tradition Salome (as Mary Salome) was counted as one of the Three Marys who were daughters of Saint Anne, so making her the sister or half-sister of Mary, mother of Jesus, a view which was rejected in the Catholic Church at the Council of Trent.
