“Bless
You”
When someone
sneezes we normally hear a phrase that has become one of the most popular. The
phrase “Bless You” was used for the first time many years ago, thousands even.
Pope Gregory the Great began using the phrase because it meant the good wishes
for health people would give the sick. During the time sneezing was one of the
first symptoms of the Bubonic Plague that took place then. When people said “Bless
You” they were praying for your health and recuperation.
