[1] Epiphany
Traditional Calendar: January 6, but in
most dioceses and countries, like USA, the celebration is transferred to the Sunday between
January 2 and January 8, inclusive, which in 2018 is January 7.

[2] The Baptism of the Lord
Traditional Calendar: January 7 (the
Sunday after Epiphany), but in countries like USA (which celebrate Epiphany on January 7), the
celebration is transferred to the following Monday, January 8.
(Source)
[3] Annunciation
Traditional Calendar: Since March 25, 2018
is Palm Sunday of the Passion of the Lord, the Solemnity of the Annunciation of the Lord, normally
assigned to this date, is transferred to Monday, April 9, 2018.

USCCB Liturgical Calendar
2018)
[4] Rosh Hashanah
Traditional Calendar: Why two days long?
Since the time of the destruction of the Second Temple of Jerusalem in 70 CE and the time of
Rabban Yohanan ben Zakkai, normative Jewish law appears to be that Rosh Hashanah is to be
celebrated for two days, because of the
difficulty of determining the date of the new moon.
(Source)
[5] The Ascension of Our Lord Jesus Christ
Traditional Calendar: Ascension Day is
traditionally celebrated on a Thursday, the fortieth day of Easter, although some dioceses and
countries (e.g. Spain) have moved the observance to the following Sunday - May 13th.
(Source)
[6] Shavuot
Traditional Calendar: Shavuot is
celebrated in Israel for one day and in the Diaspora (outside of Israel) for two days. Reform
Judaism celebrates only one day, even in the Diaspora.
(Source)
[7] Anniversary of the Miracle at Fatima
Traditional Calendar: The Miracle at
Fatima happened on Oct 13th but, despite its importance, the Anniversary is not observed in the
official Catholic Liturgical Calendar
in USA nor
in
Spain, as published by their respective Conference of Bishops.
