Raphael wrestling with Asmodeus, detail of Wedding Night of Tobias and Sarah, Pieter Lastman, 17th Century.
The Archangel Raphael: patron of bodily ills, insanity, nightmares, travelers, the blind, happy meetings, the sick, lovers, healers, the young, and apothecaries. He bound the demon Azazel beneath the desert of Upper Egypt, cured Tobias of his blindness, and delivered Sarah from the demon Asmodeus.
