Life

Saint Daniel the Stylite lived in Euboea, an island of Greece. The Greek calendar commemorates him on 15 January (new style) with the title of stylite, an ascetic who spent his life in prayer on a pillar.

The sources consulted give no dates for his birth, labours or repose; we know only that he is honoured in Euboea as a stylite and venerable father.

Commemorated the same day January 15
