2000 Feast Day of Daniel, from the Hebrew, 'God has judged'. Most Christians, perhaps, named in honour of Daniel are named after the Old Testament prophet who outfaced the lions in their den and who had such strange visions. There are actually three St Daniels named after him: one, a medieval missionary to the Moors during the crusade_s; another, a French missionary to Senegal whose special love was for orphans, who died in 1936. The third, the most famous Daniel of all, was the Stylite (or pillar-saint) who lived in the fifth century. He lived a perfectly ordinary monk's life until he paid two visits to Simon the Stylite, who lived as a hermit on top of a 60-foot pillar on Mount Telanissae. It fired his enthusiasm so much that he was ordained on top of a pillar of his own, given to him by the Emperor Leo I, and lived there for 33 years. He came down only once, to reprimand the Emperor Basilicus for supporting a heretical doctrine. Otherwise, he lived atop his pillar, healing the sick, giving spiritual direction and preaching very good sermons
