Festa dos Rapazes, or Young Men’s Festival, a winter solstice masked tradition that was “adopted” as Catholic, but with the boundaries of what’s holy and pagan  still very clear. This year, and since all  winter festivities have been cancelled due to the pandemic, I spent the  days I was meant to be in the North of Portugal looking at previous  trips, and trying to put some structure into those photos.Ousilhão, Trás-Os-Montes, Portugal 🇵🇹, December 2019 #portugal #trasosmontes #wintersolstice #festasdesantoestevao #festadosrapazes #mask
