Formerly a feast observed December 18,. It originated in Spain, when the feast of the Annunciation (March 25,) was transferFed to December 18, because of the regulation forbidding feasts in Lent, and remained on this date after the Annunciation was again celebrated on its original date. It impressed on the faithful the sentiments of the Blessed Virgin as the time of her delivery approached.
