Amen

I was wondering recently why people say the word "amen" at the end of prayers. I did a little digging into the subject today. From what I can tell, the word "amen" means "verily", "truly", "so be it", or "so it may be". Here is one resource from Google. Here is another from the LDS web site that gets into scriptural references and some additional insight into ancient usage.
