John the Baptist death
Salome's mother told her to ask for the head of John the baptist for her wish. She was a wicked woman.
According to Mark 6:21-29 a daughter of Herodias danced before Herod and her mother Herodias at the occasion of his birthday,
and in doing so gave her mother the opportunity to obtain the head of John the Baptist. Even though the New Testament accounts do not
mention a name for the girl, this daughter of Herodias is often identified with Salome. According to Mark's gospel Herodias bore a grudge
against John for stating that Herod's marriage to her was unlawful; she encouraged her daughter to demand that John be executed.
