Messiah
CRITICAL: established transliteration of ‘Christos’. NEVER conflate with 彌勒 (Maitreya, the future Buddha) or with the popular-savior framing attached to a wish-granting folk deity such as Wong Tai Sin. Christ is the one Messiah who has already come, fulfilling specific Jewish covenant promises.
