Omen of the Day
   by Briscoe Darling

God Bless You

When the great plague swept Europe, sufferers began sneezing violently 
which was a sign of death. At the same time, it was expected that 
anybody sneezing would cover their mouth with a cloth or their hand. T 
the spreading ofhis was obviously to stop the disease, but many believed 
that it was to keep the soul intact. Up until this time, the opposite 
was true. Those who sneezed were congratulated, as it was believed that 
a violent sneeze would expel evil from their bodies.
