Just was confused at Mass today I went to a Tridentine serrvice and it was the Holy Family today. Was there no moving the feast in the Old rite and thus is it actually still a holy day of Obligation in the Old rite or not moved to Sunday as in the dioceses in the United States now but celebrated on the traditional January 6? I am still kind of New to the EF and I love it. I’m 33 so I never grew up with it but have fallen in love with it. Still confused on the calendar as opposed to the OF though.
 
In the Extraordinary Form, Epiphany is celebrated on Jan 6th.

Your obligation is satisfied by attend Sunday Mass on the Sunday that Epiphany is observed (aka today) in either the OF or the EF.

Note: the obligation only applies to attending mass on the Holiday (or vigil), not necessarily attending the prescribed liturgy fornthe feast.

As has been stated, there is no moving of the Epiphany in the EF; it is celebrated on 6 January. Also note:
  • The feast of the Holy Family is celebrated in the EF on the Sunday after the Epiphany (which this year was the very next day).
  • The Sunday after Christmas is the Sunday within the Octave of Christmas.
  • The Sunday between 1 January and Epiphany or, if there is none, on 2 January, is the feast of the Holy Name of Jesus.
