QUESTION: Religion

What's the more common name for Saint Ignatius of Loyola's Society of Jesus?

ANSWER: Languages

Health (good health)

In German, Gesundheit (meaning "Good health to you") is a common traditional response to a sneeze, but it is also used in English-speaking countries. This reply stems from the belief in olden times, that a sneeze is precursory to a serious illness. Like the belief from the Middle Ages, when it was believed that when one sneezed, the heart stops, the soul left the body and could be snatched by an evil spirit. So, in English speaking countries, the German word "Gesundheit" (which means health) is occasionally said after a sneeze instead of "bless you."
