In this special Easter episode of Things Unseen, Amir Suleman is joined by Sister Liz Dodd, activist, journalist, and author of Easter in Disguise, to explore how she is rethinking traditional understandings of Lent and Easter. Together, they reflect on the rare alignment in 2026 of Lent and Ramadan beginning on the same day, uncovering the shared themes of fasting, reflection, and charity across both traditions.  

Challenging familiar approaches to Lent practice, Sister Liz invites a deeper vision of the season, one rooted not only in personal sacrifice, but in solidarity and meaningful action. The conversation also considers how these spiritual rhythms speak into a world marked by conflict and uncertainty, and what they might offer in response.  

From Lent to Ramadan, this episode draws out connections across faith traditions, offering a thoughtful exploration of compassion, justice, and the enduring hope at the heart of Easter.
