Venerable Daniel 12/30/2013
Saint Daniel was ruler of the island of Ebertis near Cadiz in Spain. Having become aware of the vanity of the world, he abandoned glory and riches and went to Rome where he became a monk. Then he made his way to Constantinople where he discussed with the Emperors Constantine and Romanus Porphyrogenitus and then he went on to Jerusalem. In Jerusalem he received the great angelic Habit under the name of Stephen, from Patriarch Christodulus. Having been subject to tortures by the Saracens who forced him to shave his beard, he fled into Egypt, where he suffered great many tortures and died for the Name of Christ. He inhabited the Kingdom of Christ at the end of X century.
