1" Saint Raphael Medal (25 mm) – Antique Replica in Sterling Silver or Gold Bronze

This Saint Raphael medal is a beautifully detailed devotional piece, measuring 1 inch (approximately 25 mm) in height. It is an exact replica of an antique or vintage medal, faithfully recreated to preserve its original sacred artistry. Available in sterling silver or gold bronze, this medal is a powerful symbol of divine healing, protection, and guidance.

The front of the Saint Raphael medallion features the Archangel Raphael depicted with a staff in one hand and holding the hand of a young traveler, traditionally identified as Tobias from the Book of Tobit. Surrounding the central figures is an ornate floral design, framed within a quatrefoil shape that adds an elegant and symbolic touch. The quatrefoil, a design element often used in Gothic art and architecture, signifies protection, unity, and divine order.

The reverse of the Saint Raphael medal bears the inscription: “ST. RAPHAEL PRESERVE US FROM ILL HEALTH AND ALL DANGER TO LIFE.” This heartfelt prayer captures the ancient devotion to Saint Raphael as a healer and protector, entrusted with delivering God's healing graces and safeguarding travelers on both physical and spiritual journeys.

The design of the Saint Raphael medallion reflects Gothic Revival style, with its intricate background pattern, symmetrical form, and spiritual symbolism, echoing the sacred art traditions of the 19th and early 20th centuries.

Saint Raphael the Archangel is one of the three archangels named in sacred scripture, known particularly from the Book of Tobit, where he guides Tobias, heals the blindness of Tobit's father, and drives away evil spirits. Saint Raphael is the patron saint of travelers, the sick, physicians, and healers, and his feast day is celebrated on September 29th along with Saints Michael and Gabriel.

Each Saint Raphael medal is expertly cast to capture the fine detail and prayerful spirit of the original design. It is ideal for those seeking protection during travels, healing in times of illness, or as a beautiful reminder of divine guardianship.

The Saint Raphael medal remains a cherished devotional piece, offering reassurance of the Archangel's intercession, healing power, and the unfailing care of heaven.
