When someone sneezes, they say 'Bless you' or 'God bless you', and it's a way of wishing them good luck. Long ago, people thought sneezing was caused by evil spirits trying to get into the body, so saying 'Bless you' helped keep those spirits away! It’s like giving someone a magical shield before they go through their sneeze explosion.
Examples
