Details

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.
