Anointed it is a adjective that qualifies the anointed one, i.e, which has been anointed with consecrated oils, who received extreme unction, who was subjected to the consecration ceremony, who was invested with authority through anointing, which was fostered with ointment, which is an oil-based substance consecrated.
Anointed is one who has gone through the anointing process, in which consecrated or aromatic oils are applied, to give him power or dignity, purification or extreme unction.
According to religious belief, an anointed being is under divine protection and the anointing can heal or comfort some physical ailment or forgive their sins.
In the Catholic Church, the anointing ritual is called "holy anointing" or "Last Sacrament" and "extreme unction". The ritual of anointing the sick is also practiced in the Protestant religion, following the words of the Apostle James.
According to the Bible, the ritual of anointing the sick is based on the words of the Apostle James, who says: “Is any of you sick? call the elders of the Church and pray over him, anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord. The prayer of faith will save the sick, and the Lord will relieve him. And if he has any sin, it will be forgiven him” (James 5: 14-15). Also in the Bible it is possible to see that when a person was anointed, he received authority meaning he was chosen by God. It was something that happened to kings, for example.
the acronym XPTO is the abbreviation for christus, a word that originates in Greek and means anointed, one who received the sacred ceremony.
