Venerable Daniel the Hermit, in his pursuit of solitude, chose a life of prayer within a cave. Stephen the Great, Prince of Moldavia, sought Daniel's counsel before battles. Daniel, gifted with prophecy, foresaw Stephen's victories and defeats, guiding him in times of war and peace. After each battle, Stephen would visit Daniel to receive blessings and give thanks. After a great victory, Stephen, fulfilling a vow, built the Putna Monastery near Daniel's hermitage, symbolizing the intertwining of spiritual guidance and earthly rule. #Saints #OrthodoxChristian #Prayer #Monasticism #SpiritualGuidance
