Easter is arriving at the end of the month, which means its time to start thinking of creative hiding spots for your kid's Easter egg hunt.

The holiday is an important one for millions of people around the world who follow the Christian faith. The day celebrates the resurrection of Jesus Christ and comes after a 40-day period known as Lent.

This year, Easter falls on Sunday, March 31. The date the holiday is celebrated changes depending on the year because it is one of several "moveable feasts" in the liturgical year, according to the History Channel. Others include Ash Wednesday and Palm Sunday.
