Memorial Day is established by the Orthodox Church on February 16 / March 1.

There were five of them. Christian brothers who called themselves names biblical prophets: Elijah, Jeremiah, Isaiah, Samuel and Daniel, returned from Asia Minor to Egypt. Their path ran through the city of Caesarea. At this time, terrible things were happening there. Christians were severely persecuted. For two years now, Pamphilus, who had created a library of Christian books, the elderly deacon Valens, and Paul had been languishing in the dungeon.

No sooner had the five Egyptians entered the city than they were immediately seized. During interrogation, they confessed that they professed Christianity. When asked about their origin, they answered that they were from Jerusalem. In the third century there was no Jerusalem, it was destroyed in the first century, and the new city had a different name. Daniel and his brothers spoke of the heavenly Jerusalem. Understanding nothing, the ruler Firmilian wanted to torture them to find out where this city was located. But everything was useless, then he ordered the execution of Daniel, his companions and prisoners who were in prison. Four more people were killed after them. The bodies of 12 martyrs lay untouched for 4 days, and on the fifth day the pagans allowed the Christians to bury them.

Memorial Day was established by the Orthodox Church on July 10/23.

Saint Daniel was one of the 45 martyrs who suffered for the faith in the city of Nikopol.
At the beginning of the 4th century, the emperor Lucinius ruled there. He was an implacable persecutor of Christians. By issuing the order to kill anyone who refuses to bow pagan gods he demanded its execution. Hegemon Lysias was one of those who had to carry it out. How shocked he was when the Christians themselves came to him. It was Saint Daniel and 44 other people. Lysias invited them to sacrifice to the pagan gods and promised to release them after that. But the martyrs did not renounce Christ, even after they were beaten and thrown into prison. There Saint Daniel prayed and sang psalms together with everyone. One day he saw an angel who said that their feat would soon be completed. The next day, having endured cruel tortures, Saint Daniel of Nikopol was martyred.

On the nominal icons, as a rule, the holy prophet Daniel is depicted.

Daniel Pereyaslavsky, archimandrite
Saint Daniel of Pereyaslavsky was born around 1460 in Pereslavl-Zalessky. The world was called Dimitri. He grew up as a meek, sensible child, loved to read spiritual books and attend church services. The young man was educated in a monastery in which his relative, the revered elder Jonah, was the hegumen. There Demetrius finally decided to choose the path of monastic service and striving for Christian perfection. At the age of seventeen, he and his brother Gerasim secretly left Pereyaslavl for the Borovsky Pafnutiev Monastery and took the tonsure there with the name Daniel.

Under the guidance of Elder Leukia, Daniil Pereyaslavsky quickly learned the rigor of monastic life, humility and obedience. The monks respected him for his virtues, firm faith, tireless work and wished to see Daniel as their abbot. But fearing the temptation of power, the ascetic left the Borovsk monastery and, after wandering through many monasteries, returned to his native Pereyaslavl, settling in the Goritsky monastery. At first, Daniel served as a prosphoron, but soon, for a strict, charitable life and diligence in the ministry, he was appointed confessor of the brethren. Not only monks, but also many lay people turned to him for wise instructions.

With all his heart following the covenant of love for one's neighbor, the Monk Daniel always received strangers and took upon himself the care of the burial of the poor, the homeless and the homeless. He buried them on the mountain in a mass grave - skudelnitsa and commemorated them in prayers. Daniel often heard stories that people see light emanating from this place and hear bells ringing. And he decided to build a church of all saints near the skudelnitsa. In confirmation of the goodness of this plan, the necessary funds were quickly found for the construction of the temple, and Grand Duke Basil gave the Monk Daniel a letter to build a church in the right place. However, many townspeople and peasants expressed the desire that not one church, but a holy monastery, be created under the skudelnitsa. This is how the Trinity Monastery arose. Daniel Pereyaslavsky became his rector in the rank of archimandrite.

It is known that the Monk Daniel became famous as a seer and miracle worker. The brethren saw him walking on the water. He miraculously saved the suffering from hunger and disease more than once. Even the mention of his name in prayer gave believers protection from robbers. The well, dug by Daniil Pereyaslavsky, has been preserved in the monastery. From the water from this well, pilgrims repeatedly received healing of their ailments.

Before his death, the holy ascetic accepted the schema and died on April 7, 1540, at the age of 81. Many miracles were also performed from his relics.

Daniel II of Serbia, Archbishop

Daniel the Stylite, reverend
Saint Daniel the Stylite lived in the 5th century in Syria near the city of Samosata. His mother, after many years of infertility, made a vow that if a child was born, his life would be dedicated to God. When a boy was born to her, she did not call him by name until the age of 5, then she brought the child to the nearest monastery and asked for a name. The abbot randomly opened the book on the words of the prophet Daniel and christened the boy that way. The parents asked the boy to stay in the monastery, but they were refused. At the age of 12, Daniel arbitrarily entered the monastery. Parents, having learned about this, persuaded the hegumen to tonsure his son as a monk.

Until the age of 42, Daniel labored in a monastery. Simeon the Stylite became a role model for him in spiritual life, and he also decided to accept the feat of pilgrimage. The Monk Daniel left the monastery for the Thracian desert and settled there on a built pillar. One night the ascetic nearly died from the cold. Having learned about this, the emperor ordered the ascetic to build a pillar of two columns connected by iron braces, on top of which a small house was erected. With the blessing of Patriarch Gennady of Constantinople, Saint Simeon was ordained a priest. The sick and crippled were often brought to him with the hope of healing. The prayers of Simeon the Stylite were zealous, the advice was simple, the sermons were understandable to everyone. He helped many unfortunate people find their way in life.

During 33 years of being a pillar, Saint Daniel descended to earth only once, when the emperor Basiliscus, who had overthrown his predecessor Zeno, began to patronize heretics. With difficulty descending Daniel was carried by the crowd on a high chair as the spiritual leader of the popular uprising, and the emperor hastened to admit his mistakes.

The Monk Daniel the Stylite lived to the age of 80 and died peacefully in the year 490.
