It is rare for some traditional Catholics to notice this. The Pre-55 Holy Week rite was changed during 1955 by angry Bugnini. The Pre-55 used Folded Chasubles on the Deacon/Subdeacon, and would be taken off for the chanting of the Epistle/Gospel. A Missa Sicca would be celebrated before the Blessing of the Palms on Palm Sunday. The Washing of Feet on Maundy Thursday used to be done after the procession of the Blessed Sacrament. Good Friday also used to make use of Incense and the prophecy readings for the Easter Vigil were 12. I could go on....
Angry Bugnini had trouble sleeping knowing that the Pre-55 Holy Week was too long and that congregation members would suffer for being at a midnight 3 hour Easter Vigil.
