pretty sure that phrase comes from the time of the black death and the commonly held belief that it was an air borne illness/demon that you might breath in during the rapid inhale of breath before sneezing.... so the 'bless you' would be the cure for the inhaled demon/illness
afair.
hurrah im cured!![]()
Cool I'm glad it worked for you!![]()
Apparently you should say 'amen' after someone says bless you, it's bad luck to say thank you supposedly....
But remember kids, it's bad luck to be superstitious
but amen simply means I / we agree.
strange what some hold to be true.
