Why do people say "God bless you"?
Interesting. What are some other theories?
Another theory is that during the time of the Black Death, sneezing was a symptom of the plague, so saying "God bless you" was a way to pray for the person's health. Some also believe that saying "God bless you" originated from Pope Gregory the Great during a bubonic plague epidemic in the sixth century, as a way to bless those who sneezed and may be infected.
