i was an extra in the funeral scene of the veronica guerin movie. A gang of oul ones stopped Joel Schumacher and asked him should they bless themselves s the coffin went by. Yes yes of course he said – but the clearly hadn’t a clue what they were talking about. Much like the rest of his direction. Miaiow.

p.s. Your post title reminds me that when people sneeze I sometimes feel rude for not saying anything. I’ll never say ‘bless you’ but sometimes I might manage a gazoontite,

My Dad does but then again he still considers himself a practicing Catholic. I thought it was mainly due to superstition myself

Yep, a habit of being a little superstitious I think!

@Gerard I was about to say, it’s not unknown amongst older people, but not seen in younger people – then Rob made his comment.

@Rob So, it’s habit more than anything?

I actually do this myself…mainly if I walk past a church. Though I’ve been known to bless myself before flying too. It’s more superstition for me though, I wouldn’t be terribly religious…

FWIW my parents still bless themselves whenever they pass a church, so it’s not unknown.
