* St. Raphael is an archangel, not a human. He is a being of pure spirit and not subject to the limitations of human birth and death.
* The Bible does not provide a birthplace for St. Raphael. He is mentioned in the Book of Tobit, where he is depicted as a traveling companion and protector, but his origins are not revealed.
Therefore, any claims about his birthplace would be based on speculation and tradition, not on canonical scripture.
