The name of the archangel Raphael appears in the Deuterocanonical Book of Tobit. The Book of Tobit is
considered
canonical by Roman Catholic, Orthodox and some Protestant Christians. Raphael first appears disguised in human
form as
the traveling companion of the younger Tobias, calling himself "Azarias the son of the great Ananias". During
the
adventurous course of the journey the archangel's protective influence is shown in many ways including the
binding of
the demon in the desert of upper Egypt. After the return and the healing of the blindness of the elder Tobias,
Azarias
makes himself known as "the angel Raphael, one of the seven, who stand before the Lord" Tobit 12:15. Compare
the unnamed
angels in John's Revelation 8:2.
Regarding the healing powers attributed to Raphael, we have little more than his declaration to Tobit (Tobit,
12) that
he was sent by the Lord to heal him of his blindness and to deliver Sarah, his daughter-in-law, from the devil
(Asmodeus) that was the serial killer of her husbands. Among Catholics, he is considered the patron saint of
medical
workers and matchmakers, and may be petitioned by them or those needing their services.
Among Roman Catholics, Eastern Orthodox and some Protestant Christians Saint Raphael's feast day is kept on 29
September, along with that of Saint Michael and Saint Gabriel. Raphael was included for the first time in the
Roman
Catholic calendar of saints in 1921, for celebration on 24 October. This continued until 1969, when 29
September became
the day for the joint celebration of the three archangels.
