Life
Saint Daniel the Romanian, a venerable monk, was a Romanian hermit who lived in a cave at Kerasia, near the Great Lavra on the Holy Mountain. Father Moses the Athonite counts him, with Avimelech the Cretan and Gerasimos the hymnographer, among the ascetics of recognized virtue at Kerasia who reposed in the Lord. He is honoured by the faithful, without synodal canonization. Our sources give neither the years of his life nor other details about him.
