Homecoming Tradition ?

Is it just a southern thing ? But do people in other parts of the country have a church anniversary service and revival meetings and it call it a homecoming ?

Where did this tradition start ? Why do we call special church events in the fall church homecomings ?
It this just a southern thing ?

Re: Homecoming Tradition ?

Never heard of it.

I thought it was a thread about high school homecomings.
