Answer:
In middle Europe, sneezing is believed to get the soul out of the body.
Explanation:
Saying “God bless you” became a tradition based on the idea that sneezing people needed to be blessed to deter the Devil from using that chance to seize people´s souls. This superstition comes from the Great Plague of London of 1665 when Pope Gregory I suggested that saying a prayer could protect the person who sneezes from death.
