In: Other 3 Answers ActiveNewestOldest Anonymous Posted March 12, 2021 0 Comments interesting, i was told it was the only time the devil could take your soul. bless you would make it so he couldn’t do it. Anonymous Posted March 12, 2021 0 Comments Because it was believed , at one time, that when you sneezed that evil spirits were trying to enter you. Anonymous Posted March 12, 2021 0 Comments Because the thought by many people, back before we knew how the body operated, was that a sneeze was “Demons” leaving your body forcefully. By saying “Bless you” you are trying to prevent those demons from returning to the body of the person who expelled them. Register or Login
