Olanrewaju Williams is a Christian and his wife, Kaosara, is a Muslim and this year they are both fasting.⁣ ⁣

For the first time since 1993, the Muslim holy month of Ramadan and the Christian season of Lent are taking place at the same time. Both periods involve fasting, prayer and reflection.⁣ ⁣

We spoke to the couple in Nigeria, where Christians and Muslims make up nearly equal parts of the population, about what observing these sacred periods together means for their family.⁣
