“Bless You”
Wishing someone well after they sneezed began thousands of years ago. It started with the Romans but instead they would say “Jupiter preserves you” or ‘Salve” which means good health. Every country has their own way of wishing sneezers wealth. Some people believe that a sneeze causes the soul to escape the body and saying “bless you” stops the devil from claiming the person’s free soul. While others believe the opposite they believe that the evil spirits see sneezing as an opportunity to enter a person’s body. But we mostly say bless you out of habit or courtesy.
