Their journey brought both the recovered funds and the remedy for Tobit’s blindness, made from a fish encountered along the way. Here Raphael stands revealed in radiant white as he readies the healing medicine that Tobias holds, while the small moneybag rests nearby as a sign of God’s providence. The brilliance of the angel contrasts beautifully with the humble barnyard setting, reminding us that divine help often appears in the quiet places of life.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cblockquote\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e“I am Raphael, one of the seven holy angels who present the prayers of the saints and enter into the presence of the glory of the Holy One.” — \u003cem\u003eTobit 12:15\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/blockquote\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: center; margin: 0;\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4 style=\"margin-top: 0.5em; margin-bottom: 0.25em;\"\u003eAvailable Sizes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eChoose the size that best fits your space:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSmall:\u003c\/strong\u003e 9 x 12 in (23 x 30 cm)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSmall:\u003c\/strong\u003e 12 x 16 in (30 x 41 cm)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMedium:\u003c\/strong\u003e 18 x 24 in (46 x 61 cm)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLarge:\u003c\/strong\u003e 27 x 36 in (69 x 91 cm)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNeed a custom size?
