Background information

Magdalena is a Hebrew name that means coming from Magdala (a town near the Sea of Galilee). It is best known by Mary Magdalene, known as the Witness of Resurrection. This can be seen as an ironic nod to the degenerate behaviour and offspring this Magdalena gave birth, which caused her eventual death.
