"The general reason for development in the liturgy is just the deepening awareness of the awesomeness of these mysteries and the desire to give them the best we can, to pay homage to them, to surround them with beautiful singing and incense and the homage of silence, all these things. Maybe what was done in a simpler way earlier, it becomes more elaborate as time goes on and as people want to celebrate and rejoice in this great mystery and give it their very best."
