Postmark: Special event or First Day of Issue (FDI) pictorial cancellation, dated March 31, 1961. Stamped in Rio de Janeiro (Guanabara).

Concordance (Maximum Card Trilogy)
Thematic: Perfect. The stamp, the postmark, and the postcard illustration strictly converge on the same theme: the Sacred Heart of Mary congregation and its devotional symbolism.
Geographic: Coherent. The postmark was applied in Rio de Janeiro, one of the primary centers for the order's colleges in Brazil.
Temporal: Exact. The cancellation date (03/31/1961) aligns with the issue period and the institution's golden jubilee celebrations.
