St. Daniel Comments
Died in 309, He and four companions, Elias, Isaias, Jeremy and Samuel were Egyptians who visited Christians condemned to work in the mines of Cilicia during Maximus persecution, to comfort them. Apprehended at the gates of Caesarea, Palestine, they were brought before the governor, Firmilian and accused of being Christians. They were all tortured and then beheaded.

I'm naming my baby after Saint Daniel.. Daniel Michael is a gift from Jesus above he will arrive December 26, 2012. I'm so excited and, it's an honor to have my child named after a wonderful saint..
I think that I might make my Confirmation name Danielle in honor of St. Daniel. This site can really help me out!
i have just googled to know more about st daniel.his testimony is quite inspiring to me as a young person.very courageous man in faith.st daniel pray for us.
I'm always delighted to read about the witnessing, courage, compassion and martyrdom of St Daniel. May his love for CHRIST always urge me on. Peace. Fr Daniel,OSB.
Wishing a very happy feast day to my friend, Daniel H. who owns a Catholic books and gifts store. He has St. Daniel holy cards in stock!
I have many Daniel's in my family starting with my great-great grandfather. A special saint indeed!
I congratulate my son Daniel; and pray for him to be more devoted to God like st. Daniel . Happy feast day my dear Daniel.
St Daniel, dear saint, you and your companions were Egyptians who suffered severe bodily pain and died for love of fellow Christians. This shows us that love of God must be made manifest in our love of neighbour. Give to us the grace of being truly prayerful in our daily lives and active in our works of mercy. Christ our beloved Saviour gives us opportunities for this. May we through the intercession of Mother Mary, St. Joseph and the saints respond to Christ's command. Dear St Daniel, pray for all who are helpless and wracked in bed of pain, the elderly who are vulnerable and have no-one to look after them. Pray also for children who are born with severe disablement, poor speech, poor reasoning, poor learning capacity and who suffer terrible epileptic seizures. Give them a permanent cure, which I truly believe Christ will grant. Amen
I teach Confirmation classes at my church (St. Bernard in Bellflower, CA), and I am always looking for good information on the saints. This article is particularly useful as we are highlighting the martyrs and their deeply profound sacrifices for the faith.
I have chosen this name for my saint name at Conformation. He seems very interesting!
I like this site, and the saints stories, although like Tamira, I had to read it twice twice. I guess that I forgot that in the top or beginning it said he and four companions. I suppose we need a little more wisdom and understanding. I love to read the saints stories, I so do want to follow Jesus and his saints.
God bless you.
Love this site and read it all the time - but this particular biography is written in a very confusing manner - hard to follow despite its short length.
this is a very inspiring saint. though tortured for giving comfort to those christians....what he did was very inspiring to me so that i may go out and encourage others to come to Christ and help those who are doing His work.
