The ancient Greeks believed a blessing might prevent evil from entering your body during its unguarded state while you sneeze. Our tradition comes from the black plague of 1665, when sneezing was believed to be one of the first symtoms of the disease. Infection meant certain death, hence the symtom was greeted with the prayer, "God Bless You," which through time has been reduced to "Bless You!"
