I was curious to see if others are seeing that Ascension Thursday is transferred to the upcoming Sunday? I live in Archdiocese of NY and it remains on Thursday and is a holy day of obligation. But right over the border the Diocese of Newark (NJ) has transferred it to Sunday and Thursday is a regular weekday Mass.
Here in Italy since sometime around 1977 after the State removed some religious holidays from the calendar the obligation was moved to Sunday. I had to look it up! But somehow the Epiphany snuck back in as a holy day of obligation and in the diocese of Rome, Sts. Peter and Paul is also a holy day of obligation. https://it.cathopedia.org/wiki/Legge_italiana_di_soppressione_delle_festività_religiose_(1977)
Germany: Thursday as it should be, and a general holiday for all the people as a tradition, even if it has no meaning for -sadly enough- most (afraid so) of them.
