Parol
A parol is an oral statement or utterance: by parol.
The angel Gabriel made his famous proclamation, known as the Annunciation, to Mary by parol.
The angel said to her, "Do not be afraid, Mary; for you have found favor with God. And behold, you will conceive in your womb and bear a son, and you shall name Him Jesus." (Luke 1:30-31, NASB)
The Annunciation stated that Mary would give birth to a son named Jesus whose birth would change the entire world as much as it would her own.
Note: This painting of the Annunciation by Gaudenzio Ferrari (1471-1546) is an oil and egg tempera on poplar. It hangs in the National Gallery in London.
