Interesting, explanations about the origins of “God bless you,” or in short, “Bless you.” date back to the first century, and are deeply rooted in SUPERSTITION.
Back then, a sneeze was sometimes thought to be the body's way of trying to rid itself of evil spirits. So, in that case, saying “God bless you” was a way to try to provide a protection, or a good luck charm, against the evil spirits leaving or inhabiting the body.
