During Shabbat and Yom Tov, the Shmoneh Esreh consists of a total of 7 blessing. The beginning and ending 3 are the same as during weekdays.
On Shabbat, the middle blessing text is different for each service (Arvit Lel Shabbat, Shacharit and Mincha on Yom Shabbat. I have excluded Musaph as that is always different than the others.)
On Yom Tov, the middle paragraph is the same for all 3 services.
Why does Shabbat warrant a different middle section but Yom Tov does not?
