María Salomé, daughter of Saint Anne, wife of Zebedee, mother of Saint James, and present both at the crucifixion and the discovery of the empty tomb of Jesus. All subjects with which we pilgrims should be familiar. I have written previously concerning her church in SdC, Rúa Nova, 31, sadly neglected last time I saw it. While in SdC, she deserves a visit.
What else do we know about María Salomé the mother of Saint James? She was exiled by the Romans placed in a "stone ship" without sail or oar, along with many other Christians (sounds familiar no?). They were driven by currents to the delta of the Rhône where they landed. There, they were greeted by Sarah the Black , who became the servant of the Maries, María Salomé and Marie-Jacobé and no The Maria was busy elsewhere and while the Magdalena traveled with them in the boat she went on and finished up in Saint-Maximin-la-Sainte-Baume. María Salomé and Marie-Jacobé may be found today in the French sea-side town of Saintes-Maries-de-la-Mer.
Wiki-guru informs me that Saintes-Maries-de-la-Mer is located along the Santiago de Compostela Camino? The Via Tolosana, begins in Arles and heads almost due west to Toulouse, Saintes-Maries-de-la-Meris is 40k southwest from Arles so not the right Camino. We have all learned not to trust the Wiki-guru but does anyone know which Camino is referred to on the site? Something coming in along from Italy? A Cannes Camino (I don’t think so doesn’t sound right)?
