We are all so happy to pay our respects to Saint James when arriving in Santiago de Compostela. The well-informed pilgrim should know that his mother, Maria Salomé also has a church in SdC. The Iglesia de Santa María Salomé may be found on Rúa Nova, 31, small and unassuming. Those who know their Bible are aware that Maria Salomé was a follower of Jesus, she was one of the three Marias who witnessed His Crucifixion and death at Calvary and who brought spices to embalm him on Easter morning. She certainly deserves our respect as well
