St. Raphael, in the Christian Catholic tradition, is considered one of the seven archangels, and one of the three most prominent ones, alongside Michael and Gabriel. His name means "God heals" or "God's healing," and he is regarded as the angel of healing and restoration.
In the Bible, St. Raphael is mentioned in the Book of Tobit and the Book of Enoch. In the Book of Tobit, he appears in human form as a companion to Tobit's son, Tobias, helping him resolve various issues, including the healing of his father's blindness. In the Book of Enoch, St. Raphael is described as an angel guiding humanity in the ways of healing.
Being associated with healing and restoration, St. Raphael is often invoked for assistance in matters of physical or spiritual healing in Catholic and other Christian traditions. He is regarded as a patron of doctors, nurses, patients, and travelers, and is also known as the "angel of travelers."
The feast day dedicated to St. Raphael is an important occasion in the Catholic tradition and is usually celebrated on September 29th. On this day, believers visit churches to seek his blessings and healing. He is widely venerated and respected as a divine messenger, bringing hope and comfort, especially during times of physical and emotional distress.
