Even sneezing has its place in old wives tales and folk lore. If you do not wish your soul to escape while sneezing you should place your hand over your mouth. Be sure that someone says “God Bless you” when you sneeze to drive the devil away or he may enter your body. Here is the old wives tales for every day of the week and the meaning of your sneeze: Monday means danger. Tuesday means you will kiss a stranger. Wednesday means you will receive a letter. Thursday means something better is coming Friday means sorrow. Saturday means you will see your love tomorrow. Sunday means that the devil will be in control over you all week long. Even how many times you sneeze in a row has meaning with old wives tales that include: Sneeze once for sorrow. Sneeze twice for joy. Sneeze three times for a letter. Sneeze four times for a boy. Sneeze five times for silver. Sneeze six times for gold. Sneeze seven times for a secret that will never be told.

Sneezing - A man sneezing.
But there's a medical explanation to it.They say that when you sneeze,you heart stops for a second.So thats the reason they ask you to say something when one sneezes.Since anything can happen when the heart stops,we say God bless as a sign of a small prayer.

I heard that old wives tale about the spirit leaving your body when you sneeze and I even heard the other old wives tale about the one when your heart stops when you sneeze. Now a days, it's just good manners to say "Bless you" it comes natural. :)
