Holy Prophet Daniel Framed Canvas Icon

The Prophet Daniel was carried into exile in Babylon as a young man following the conquest of Jerusalem, yet he resolved from the very beginning of his captivity not to defile himself by eating food forbidden under Jewish law, a quiet faithfulness that marked the whole of his long service within successive pagan courts. He became renowned for interpreting dreams and visions that baffled the wisest counsellors of Babylon, including the troubling dreams of King Nebuchadnezzar and the mysterious handwriting that appeared upon the wall before King Belshazzar, insight that repeatedly proved decisive at moments of great uncertainty for the rulers he served. When jealous rivals contrived to have him cast into a den of lions for continuing to pray openly to the God of Israel despite a royal decree forbidding it, he emerged the next morning entirely unharmed, a deliverance that became one of the most enduring images of faith preserved through impossible danger found anywhere in the Old Testament. He also received extensive prophetic visions concerning the future of nations and the eventual coming of God's kingdom, securing his place as one of the great prophets of the Hebrew Scriptures and a model of unwavering integrity maintained even while serving faithfully within a foreign and often hostile court.

“My God hath sent his angel, and hath shut the lions' mouths, that they have not hurt me.” (Daniel 6:22)

O holy Prophet Daniel, who didst remain faithful in prayer though it cost thee the den of lions, intercede for us, that we too may continue in prayer however much the world around us may forbid or mock it. Amen.
