OKay did some research...
ends up people back in the day believed the soul was in the head. So when we sneezed people believed the soul left and we said god bless you as a prayer so evil spirits could not go inside u before your sould returned. Another thing I read is that there was a epidemic where people died and sneezing was a symptom so the pope ordered people to say god bless you as a prayer to bless them. Now its more out of politeness then religion. |
