Tips

culture
In Chinese-language Christian texts (Catholic and Protestant), 救主 is the standard rendering of 'the Savior' - and the holiday 救主圣诞 is one of several names for Christmas. Outside religion, 救主 is used metaphorically for anyone who shows up just in time to bail you out - often with a slightly grateful or theatrical tone.
