OBSERVANCE DATES ACCORDING TO TRADITIONAL CALENDAR
Epiphany. 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 2020 is January 5. (Source)

The Visitation of Mary to Elizabeth is traditionally celebrated on May 31st, but this year May 31st is Pentecost Sunday. There is no provision for an alternative date in the official Catholic Liturgical Calendar in USA nor in Spain.

The Ascension of Our Lord Jesus Christ is traditionally celebrated on a Thursday, the fortieth day of Easter, although some dioceses and countries have moved the observance to the following Sunday. (Source)

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)

The Solemnity of the Body and Blood of Jesus Christ is traditionally celebrated on the Thursday after Trinity Sunday, although some dioceses and countries, like USA, have moved the observance to the following Sunday. (Source)

Anniversary of the Miracle at Fatima. The Miracle at Fatima happened on Oct 13rd 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.

The Immaculate Conception of Mary is traditionally celebrated on December 8th, but in USA it is postponed to December 9th. According to the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops, "Since December 8, 2019, is the Second Sunday of Advent, the Solemnity of the Immaculate Conception of the Blessed Virgin Mary is transferred to Monday, December 9, 2019."
