Answer 1

Salome the Holy Myrrhbearer is venerated on August 3.
Christos Anaesti!

PS - There is also the Venerable Salome of Ujarma, commemorated on January 15th, and the Martyr Salome of Georgia, commemorated on July 21st.

(Keep in mind that Orthodox Churches are independent, and often recognize different lists of saints. Some may show up on one calendar, but not on another)

Answer 2

Salome was the daughter of Herodias who asked for the head of John The Baptist's head on a platter and danced around for it. It was at a birthday party. It was the first birthday celebrated in Scripture.
