Anointed refers to being blessed or consecrated with holy oil, often as a symbol of receiving the Holy Spirit.

Anointed is often associated with specific religious rites or sacraments, while baptism is a more universal practice found in many Christian denominations.

Christians believe that the "anointed" one is the promised Messiah and that when a person is anointed with oil that has been blessed by a member of the Clergy such as a priest, the Spirit of God will come upon this person being anointed.
