Once upon a time being sick was thought to be caused by demons, so blessing someone who sneezed helped protect them from those demons.
when you sneeze you sneeze ur soul out so blessing u will prevent ur soul from dying or so they say
one theory suggests it originated in rome when the bubonic plague was going around europe. it was thought that saying bless you after someone sneezed would protect the person from dying.
To invoke God and protect them from the plague
Protection. Against disease, or fairies trying to steal your soul, or whatever other superstition.
