The holy and right-believing Daniel of Moscow was the Grand Prince of Moscow, son of the holy and right-believing Alexander Nevsky. Being the youngest son, he inherited the poor principality of Moscow that through his adroit and peaceful handling of the princely internecine warfare developed into the capital of a united Russian land. He founded the first monastery, St. Daniel Monastery (Moscow), in Moscow, at the Church of St. Daniel the Stylite. He is remembered on March 17 (March 4) and September 12 (August 30).
