Richard Holloway explores the concept of suffering as part of the Easter story.

Richard Holloway explores the concept of suffering as part of the Easter message, plus he hears the stories of three women who have come through personal despair to find hope.

Richard Holloway presents a special Easter Sunday programme, talking to Theologian Dr Aileen Barclay about how her Christian faith guided her through a period of sorrow to a place of hope.

The story of Easter touches on the fundamental themes of Christian faith: redemption and salvation through suffering and life through death. Theologian Padráig O'Tuama; Professor Michael Brady of Glasgow University; and historian and author, Martin Palmer explore the how we address the concept of suffering in our lives.

In a special feature, Richard explores the metaphorical power of the Easter message through the stories of three courageous women who have come through adversity and been touched by hope.

In our occasional series about things that inspire us, regular Thought for the Day contributor Rosa Murray describes how the arrival of her grandson has proved life-affirming.

Ahead of a new documentary on his work, landscape photographer Colin Prior joins Richard to discuss the spiritual beauty and meditative power of the Scottish mountains.
