Salome (disciple) Salome (disciple) Salome (, "Shelomit"), or Mary Salome, was a follower of Jesus who appears briefly in the canonical gospels and in more detail in apocryphal writings. She is named by Mark as present at the crucifixion and as one of the women who found Jesus's tomb empty. 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 Apostles of Jesus. In Roman Catholic tradition Salome (as Mary Salome) is, or at

Salome is also the name of a Christian saint, who was traditionally one of the women who witnessed the resurrection of Jesus Christ.
