“Bless You”

Whenever someone sneezes you say “bless you” or hear someone else say these words.

There are many places and reasons where the saying “bless you” came from, one is believed to be that Pope Gregory the 7^th suggested saying “God bless you” so that it would protect a person from death because this was during the bubonic plague. Another is that the soul was form of air that resided in the head, when some sneezed they thought that their soul came out so saying “God bless you” would prevent it from coming out.
