Archangel Raphael

A handmade icon made on natural wood with the use of traditional materials. Crafted with 22K gold leaves. Reproduction according to the museum print standards.

The Archangel Raphael is a powerful protector of humanity and a faithful messenger of the Lord. He often appears to people in order to save them from danger, to heal them, and to guide them along the path of salvation. His figure is depicted as serene and radiant, expressing comfort and hope. His face is gentle and compassionate. In his right hand he holds a staff, while in his left he holds a globe, symbols of his power and of his position in God’s heavenly Kingdom. His garments are blue and green, while his dense brown wings spread gracefully behind him. The icon of Archangel Raphael serves as a reminder of the healing power of the Divine Grace and as a call to repentance and trust in God’s providence.
