Kneeling, the Archangel Raphael holds a fat blue fish in this delightful wood carving by Jose Canil Ramos. The heavenly messenger is one of the seven archangels who stand before the throne of God. Patron of the blind, of happy meetings, of nurses, of physicians and of travelers, his feast day is September 29.

Because each work of art is individually carved and painted by hand, no two will ever be identical.

“Simple and spiritual”

This piece reminds me of earlier works by JOCARA: a rustic and individual quality. It could be a roadside icon made a devout resident.

“Arch angel Raphael and saint Jose”

there are only 2 left. and they are priceless folk art. I have ordered other treasures from this talented creator...and I am always so happy and amazed by the craft-man-ship. truly me thinks either money goes further where he lives or they need to raise the price. and st rahael the healer is very special to me and my husband....he worked at a hospital named st Raphael in New Haven .....and the day it was purchased lightning struck the hospital and the power went out...and mother superior and the other nuns/care givers were let go
