Saint Raphael the Archangel is the divine healer, whose name means "God heals." He is one of the three archangels mentioned by name in the Bible, appearing prominently in the Book of Tobit where he guides and heals.
In the Book of Tobit, Raphael disguises himself as a human traveler to accompany young Tobias on a dangerous journey. Along the way, he helps Tobias find medicine to cure his father's blindness and drives away the demon Asmodeus who had killed Sarah's previous husbands.
Raphael represents God's healing presence and protective guidance. He is the patron saint of travelers, the blind, nurses, and all medical workers. He reminds believers that angels walk among us, often unrecognized, offering healing and protection.
