"God heals": that is what the name of Raphael means, the archangel who, according to biblical tradition, accompanied Tobias on a long journey, protecting him from all danger.

The Story of Tobias and the Archangel
According to the Book of Tobit, the archangel Raphael accompanied young Tobias incognito on a journey full of dangers, protecting him and helping him cure his father's blindness. Since then, Raphael has been invoked as the patron of travelers, doctors, and the sick. His feast day is October 24.
A Medal for the Journey
At Khartes Madrid, we design and handcraft, right here in Spain, medals that are meant to be much more than jewelry: they are a way to keep our families' faith and traditions close to the heart. We believe that giving a medal is an act of love: a way to tell someone that we pray for them and that we wish them to be always protected.
Like Saint Raphael with Tobias, a medal accompanies: it is a perfect gift for someone who is going on a journey, starting to study medicine or nursing, or simply for anyone who needs to feel accompanied and protected on the path.
