This finely embroidered icon depicts Raphael, one of the holy Archangels honored in Christian tradition as a healer, protector, and guide. His name means “God heals,” reflecting his role as a messenger of divine mercy and restoration.
Archangel Raphael is especially known from the Book of Tobit, where he accompanies the young Tobias on a journey, protecting him from danger and bringing healing to his family. Because of this, the Archangel Raphael is often invoked for healing, protection, and guidance during travel.
This embroidered icon preserves the traditional character of Orthodox iconography while providing a durable devotional image rendered entirely in thread.
The compact size makes it ideal for personal prayer, travel icon sets, or devotional use.
