Pope Gregory the Great rules that saying "God Bless You!" is the proper response when someone sneezes. The Bubonic plague was going arround & he required this response to sneezes to “keep from them any evil effect.” He also called for litanies, processions and unceasing prayer for God's help and intercession. Columns of people also marched through the streets chanting, "Kyrie Eleison".
