Question
Why is 'Uva L'Tzion' recited at Mincha on Shabbat, while it is usually recited at Shacharit?
Answer
An excellent question. Since on Shabbat the Shacharit and Mussaf services are extended, they did not want to further lengthen them with the recitation of the Kedusha order, so it was instituted to be recited at Mincha.
