AI overview
I don't have sufficient context provided to write an accurate overview of "Messiah." The image caption only describes a biblical scene of Samuel anointing David from the 3rd century, which relates to messianic concepts but doesn't contain enough information for me to create a comprehensive, neutral explanation of what Messiah is and why it matters.

In Abrahamic religions, a messiah or messias (; , , ) is a saviour or liberator of a group of people. The concepts of mashiach, messianism, and of a Messianic Age originated in Judaism, and in the Hebrew Bible, in which a mashiach is the heavenly sovereign, king of prophets, or High Priest traditionally anointed with holy anointing oil.
