Amen is the word used at the end of a prayer. It is a Hebrew word meaning something like "certainly" or "may it be so".
Use in the Old Testament
In the Old Testament it appears as a respose to the statement of someone else, sometimes in a worship setting.
Use in the New Testament
The first Greek speaking Christians kept this Hebrew word as a response to prayer.
Jesus used "Amen" as an opening affirmation of truth: "Amen I say to you..." (Matthew 5:18)
