These photos represent a Christmas tradition called “Os Buchos” (filling the pig’s stomach with rice, meat and other ingredients). Preparation and confection are made with my father's family and that year this community task was the closest to Christmas that I had.The immortalization of a hinge year in my family life made me realize that traditions change, customs disappear and others appear, and I will try to keep them on film.

   These photographs are organized by order of preparation and confection process and “3kg of parsley” appears as a tribute to those who strive every year to keep this cultural tradition alive, and above all this family getting together. For the Viveiros family, where parsley never hurts.
