Encyclical
According to its etymology, an encyclical is nothing more than a circular letter.
In modern times, usage has confined the term almost exclusively to certain papal
documents which differ in their technical form from the ordinary style of either
Bulls or Briefs, and which in their superscription are explicitly addressed to the
patriarchs, primates, archbishops, and bishops of the Universal Church in communion
with the Apostolic See.

Expectation of the Blessed Virgin Mary
Celebrated on 18 December by nearly the entire Latin Church. Owing to the ancient
law of the Church prohibiting the celebration of feasts during Lent (a law still in
vigour at Milan), the Spanish Church transferred the feast of the Annunciation from
25 March to the season of Advent, the Tenth Council of Toledo (656) assigning it
definitely to 18 December.

In May, 1887, the churches of Syrian Rite in Malabar were separated from those of
the Latin Rite and formed into the Vicariates of Trichur and Kottayam under

"Quae Rei Sacrae" (28 July, 1896) divided the territory anew into three
vicariates: Trichur, Changanacherry, and Ernakulam.
