- Go to Sneeze, sneeze, God bless you
i think i know the answer
I've seen it in a documentary about old practices,in medieval times people thought that when you sneeze you invite the devil or the evil spirit.so to keep that evil spirit away they say 'God bess you'.Am not very sure but its goes like this.

I've always heard that too. I don't really know though.

I have no idea where it all started
But I say it all the time when someone sneezes. Hopefully it is being heard, I believe it is!

All I know is
supposedly when you sneeze, your heart skips a beat. Some say this is the closest a lot of people come to death before actually dying. Maybe that's where it comes from.
