St. Raphael of Brooklyn Bust Icon
This icon of St. Raphael of Brooklyn is a bust reproduction of the Cathedral Shrine to St. Raphael. Originally commissioned prior to his becoming a saint, the icon was later corrected after his glorification in 2000. An interesting feature of this icon is the engolpion (panagia) that depicts the Archangel Raphael, his patron. This is a replica of one that was actually worn by St. Raphael himself. The original icon also contains a large relic on the bottom in the center.
