Feast of Visitation
>It was formerly observed on 2nd July, but in 1969 moved to 31st May. I do
>not know why it was moved; there is at present no feast in the General
>Calendar on 2nd July,
I don't know either: but it might possibly have been to get into
May, traditionally associated with Marian devotions.
