Michael, Gabriel, Raphael, and four more — the seven archangels named in the Book of Tobit as those “who stand in the glorious presence of the Lord.” A protection tradition that runs through Catholic devotion and folk-spiritual practice alike, including in the Caribbean.

Start Here — The Essential Two
1. Weekly Protection Medals of the Seven Archangels (7-Charm Set)
Michael, Jofiel, Samuel, Gabriel, Raphael, Uriel, and Zadkiel — one archangel assigned to each day of the week, each with their own protective role. Michael defends, Gabriel delivers God’s messages, Raphael heals — the tradition traces back to the Book of Tobit, where Raphael names himself as “one of the seven angels who stand in the glorious presence of the Lord.”
2. Seven Archangels Statue Set (8 Inch)
The full seven — Michael, Raphael, Gabriel, Uriel, Zadkiel, Barachiel, and Jofiel — as a complete devotional statue set, for a home altar or shrine rather than worn.
Who They Are
- Michael — “Who is like God?” — the great defender against evil, protector of the Church
- Gabriel — “God is my strength” — the messenger, announcer of divine will
- Raphael — “God heals” — patron of travelers, the sick, and healers, from the Book of Tobit
The remaining four — Uriel, Zadkiel, Barachiel, and Jofiel — complete the seven named across Eastern Catholic and apocryphal tradition, each honored on their own day of the week in devotional practice.
