Why the date is what it is
Same date every year. The holiday is tied to one calendar date, so it lands on a different weekday each year but never changes date.
That is why Assumption does not land on the same day everywhere in 2025. Countries applying the rule against a different calendar, a different observation, or a different official announcement arrive at neighbouring dates. Where the difference is one day it is almost always a sighting or an announcement rather than a mistake, and each country page names the authority that fixed it.
