Saint Raphael the Archangel is recognized in the Christian, Jewish, and Islamic traditions, though he is most prominently featured in the Book of Tobit in the Bible. In the Book of Tobit, it is mentioned that Saint Raphael disguised himself as a human and assisted Tobit and his son Tobias. There is no specific location given for where he lived, as he is considered an archangel and a spiritual being.
The skull is a symbol for Saint Rosalia because when her remains were found in a cave in Sicily, a fragment of a skull was among the bones. This skull became associated with her and is now a common symbol used to represent her as a saint and martyr.
Saint Raphael is a principal character in the Book of Tobit which is an Old Testament book in the original Bible still used by Catholics. This was THE Bible for over 1500 years until Martin Luther came along and found certain books of the Old Testament which were in disagreement with his personal beliefs. He threw them out of his Bible. The Book of Tobit makes for wonderful reading and will give you a great introduction to the Archangel Raphael and his work.
