Mary Magdalene...

Maudlin (Adj): sentimental, oversentimental, mawkish, and lachrymose.Da Vinci fans you might know where this word comes from. Remember somebody named “Mary Magdalene” in the book “The Da Vinci code”. She was a follower of Jesus to whom he appeared after resurrection and she was frequently depicted as a tearful penitent. (Magdala was a town in ancient Palestine)
