Memory 20 July (2 August)
In his famous work Pilgrimage, the 18th-century historian andarchbishop Timote (Gabashvili) writes that the godless Persians capturedthe holy martyr Salome and tortured her at Jerusalem’s HolyCross Monastery for defending the name of Christ.
Thus it appears that Salome labored at one of the convents in Jerusalem.It is believed that she was tortured to death after the martyrdomof Luka of Jerusalem, around the years 1227–1228.
O Christ our God, save our souls through the intercessions of Thy holymartyr Salome!
