Why do we bless people when they sneeze?!
Question:
Why do we bless people when they sneeze?
Answers:
It all started with the plague in London. One of the first signs of the desease was a cold and sneezing. When children started to show the effects their parents used to get them 'blessed' by their priests, vicars etc in the hope that the desease would not take them away in death. Which is why everyone says bless you when a person sneezes. Hope this helps.
