It is said to have originated from a time when people believed that when a loved one passed away, that the souls of the dead would leave that body any enter the body of a mourning loved one. So people started wearing black robes to hide their faces so that the lost soul would not find them and continue on to the after life. As years went by it transformed into a showing of respect for the dead.

What does the song black sabbath mean?
First of all, Black Sabbath is a musical group, not a song. Just as a Sabbath is a religious ceremony (such as a mass or service), although the origin of the term has taken some divergence over the years from its origin meaning, a "black" Sabbath would be akin to an "evil" Sabbath or ceremony. Hence, witchcraft, etc. The idea is obviously some form of Demonic Devil Worship. This goes a step beyond mere morbid songs like Paint it Black, and White Room, which seem to involve funerals. The original members of Black Sabbath are not demonic devil worshippers, as they have been stereotyped due to their interest in themes from the occult. They have been photographed quite famously wearing rosaries or crosses around their necks on numerous occasions. The title track for Black Sabbath, "I Grimlok", can be interpreted as having a figure or demon's shadow looming over you like the Grim Reaper/angel of death. It is more of a presence or the moldy scent of old death; the finger pointing of the Grim Reaper coming to take your soul to the other side.
