This luminous hand-painted icon depicts Archangel Raphael, one of the seven archangels who stand before the throne of God and a heavenly healer and protector. Painted in the traditional Byzantine style with egg tempera and embellished with genuine 22K gold leaf, the icon is mounted on hand-carved, asymmetrical natural wood that highlights the angel’s radiant and divine presence.
Archangel Raphael is known from the Book of Tobit in the Old Testament, where he is sent by God to heal Tobit and guide Tobias on his journey. His name means "God heals," and he is invoked especially for healing of body and soul, safe travels, and divine guidance.
