The Life of St Daniel the Stylite

Más información sobre el libro

The life of St. Daniel, a monk from Syria who became a renowned stylite, highlights his unique spiritual journey. Inspired by St. Simeon, he chose to live on a pillar near Constantinople, where he became a spiritual beacon, celebrating the Eucharist, preaching, and healing the sick. His counsel influenced emperors and church leaders, yet he maintained his ascetic lifestyle, descending only once in thirty-three years to defend orthodoxy. His story serves as a reminder of the diverse paths to spiritual closeness with God.
