The modern English language term bless likely derives from the 1225 term blessen, which developed from the Old English blǣdsian (preserved in the Northumbrian dialect around 950 AD).The term also appears in other forms, such as blēdsian or bldsian (before 830 and derived from Proto-Germanic *blōðisōjanan), blētsian from around 725 and blesian from around 1000, all meaning to make sacred or holy by a sacrificial custom in the Anglo-Saxon pagan period, originating in Germanic paganism; to mark with blood. Due to this, the term is related to the term blōd, meaning blood.
The year is now 2013, not 1984, by your stupid religious calendar, which has absolutely no basis in any real astronomical events, and is also incorrect in some religious events.

Why are you stubbornly clinging on to these Archaic beliefs?
What is your religion?
