Bless You

Why do we say this when someone sneezes ?this is a question many people have asked and today is the answer you will get.

We say this to wish someone a “healthy health”, or to wish them a “long life”

It all started in the roman times when they would say” Jupitar preserve you” or “Salve”and the greeks would wish each other a long life. but now in our times it started  with God bless you attributed to Pope Gregory the Great.

Pope Gregory the Great  whom uttered it in the sixth century when the plague was epidemic.usually in that time when you sneezed it was basically one of the symptoms of the plague.
