Venerable Daniel the Hermit, after wandering extensively, settled near a rock in a remote area. A vision instructed him to carve a church into the rock. He lived in that narrow space for many years, praying and teaching those who sought him out. Saint Stephen the Great often sought Daniel's counsel. After a battle, Stephen went to Daniel, who told him that he must build a monastery in thanksgiving to God for his victory. Daniel even foretold that Stephen would become a great ruler.
