According to the dictionaries, superstition is a belief that something or somebody can bring us good or bad luck. It isn't logical or scientifically proven, so it's the same as a belief in the supernatural.

Different nationalities have their own superstitions, as well as myths, legends and fairy tales. They are a huge part of culture, folklore and national beliefs. Their origins go back hundreds of years ago to the pagan roots. That is why all beliefs include some good luck amulets and charms.

Not everyone knows that saying "God bless you" after a sneeze is a part of superstitions too. It goes back to the period of a bubonic plague. People believed that, when a person sneezed, his soul went out and heart beating stopped for a moment. So they wished each other "God bless you" to welcome the person back to life.
