When was the actual Transfiguration of Christ?

Question

I can only find one reference online, which is before Lent. Is there multiple dates? or one definite one?

Are you asking about the Feast of the Transfiguration, which is celebrated yearly, or the original event it commemorates? — DJClayworth, Mar 12 '17 at 0:18

The actual Transfiguration according to this source took place in February or March: -

Though the Transfiguration took place in February or March, it has always been celebrated later in the year.

Catholics have the readings for the Transfiguration on the 2nd Sunday of Letn (which incidentally is tomorrow) – Peter Turner♦ Mar 12 '17 at 3:44
Anglicans get those readings before Lent, which is arguably a better chronology: the transfiguration occurred before the time in the wilderness. – Andrew Leach Mar 17 '17 at 20:08
