Santa Maria Salome

Who is Santa Maria Salome?

She is one of the "Three Marys" who have served Jesus Christ. She was a disciple/follower of Jesus who appeared briefly in the canonical gospels and apocryphal writings. 
Mary Salome was known as the wife of Zebedee and the mother of St. James the Great and St. John. She has witnessed Jesus Christ's Crucifixion and she was among the people who were present at the burial place during day of Jesus' Resurrection.

Above is a picture of Maria Salome which our neighbor had been taking care of for many years. Every year I look forward to see the different designs and styles of clothes she's going to wear as well as the beautiful flower decorations placed all over her for the Holy Week procession.
