That of Amen is undoubtedly one of the most recognized words in the world whole. It is obviously closely linked to the Jewish and Christian religions where it is used especially towards the end of a liturgical prayer with the mission of expressing: so be it or so it is, which are their original meanings in the language Hebrew from which it comes.
That is, manifesting the word amen behind a prayer or liturgical request implies a reaffirmation of the faith that is professed and is also a way of asking with all force that faith imposes that what is asked is effectively fulfilled.
Also, when all the faithful gathered at Mass manifest it, it is assumed that the whole is of in accordance with what is proposed, which considers it true, even ratifies it, and they unite through the Amen.
It is worth noting that the originality in terms of use is attributed to the Judaism and then both Christianity and Islam They incorporated it into their liturgy as one of the words with the greatest spiritual and faith load.
So, in churches during mass, in synagogues during Jewish celebrations and in the corresponding holy books of both religions such as theBible, the word amen is frequently used and undoubtedly one of the most expressed.
Although a use is almost always attributed to it towards the end of a request or a sentence, its use has also been recorded at the beginning of the speeches made by the same Jesus.
Anyway and beyond the above we must mention that all people beyond the creed who professing know it and have surely spoken it at some time, either in a religious context or outside of the. Because precisely the extension of the concept has made it even transcend its own limits of use and be used in the use colloquial at the time of want express that I know agrees or agrees with what is being said or done.
Of course, this colloquial use is linked to the meaning original word in the Hebrew language.
