Salome in ecstasy

[toe...@lycos.com]

Salome was the daughter of Herod II and Herodias. She is infamous for
demanding and receiving the head of John the Baptist, according to the
New Testament.

"And when a convenient day was come, that Herod on his birthday made a
supper to his lords, high captains, and chief estates of Galilee; And
when the daughter of the said Herodias came in, and danced, and pleased
Herod and them that sat with him, the king said unto the damsel, Ask of
me whatsoever thou wilt, and I will give it thee. And he sware unto her,
Whatsoever thou shalt ask of me, I will give it thee, unto the half of
my kingdom. And she went forth, and said unto her mother, What shall I
ask? And she said, The head of John the Baptist. And she came in
straightway with haste unto the king, and asked, saying, I will that
thou give me by and by in a charger the head of John the Baptist. And
the king was exceeding sorry; yet for his oath's sake, and for their
sakes which sat with him, he would not reject her. And immediately the
king sent an executioner, and commanded his head to be brought: and he
went and beheaded him in the prison, and brought his head in a charger,
and gave it to the damsel: and the damsel gave it to her mother. And
when his disciples heard of it, they came and took up his corpse, and
laid it in a tomb." (Mark 6:21-29, KJV)
