Bless You!

Why do we say "Bless You!" when some one sneezes? There are different theories, but no definite answer. The most common theory is that the good wish wards off bad luck. It was once believed that your soul was located in your head, and sneezing might drive it out. It was better not to sneeze at all, but if it really couldn't be helped, the people around you protected you from evil by wishing you health or good luck.
