The holy noble prince Daniel of Moscow is the ancestor of the Moscow line of Rurikovichs: Moscow princes and kings. He lived at the end of the 13th century, during one of the darkest periods of Russian history, when it was not so much the Golden Horde, but internecine wars for the princely thrones that devastated the homeland and destroyed the people.
Prince Daniil of Moscow was born in Vladimir in 1261. He was the fourth and youngest son of Grand Duke Alexander Yaroslavich Nevsky and the righteous Princess Vassa, daughter of Bryachislav, Prince of Polotsk.
At the age of two, Daniel lost his father (his father went to a distant horde, to the Tatar Khan, to appease him; on the way back, the holy noble Grand Duke Alexander Nevsky fell ill and, before reaching Vladimir, died in Gorodets (Nizhny Novgorod province) on November 23, 1262) .
Soon his mother also died (the time of his mother’s repose is not indicated in the chronicles, it is only known that she was buried in the cathedral of the Vladimir Dormition (Princess) Monastery, and the surrounding residents considered her righteous).
So Saint Daniel was left an orphan early and did not receive his share of the inheritance for a long time; His elder brothers, who had taken possession of both the grand princely power and all the regions of their father, did not devote anything to Daniel for a long time.
The boy grew up meek and gentle. He always took a handful of coins to church and generously distributed them after the service to the poor and suffering on the porch. Like his father, Holy Prince Alexander Nevsky, Daniel loved God's temple, prayer and church singing. As a future ruler, Daniel was trained in secular sciences, military art and the business of governing his subjects.
When Daniil was 10 years old, in 1272, his brothers allocated for him to reign the poor and insignificant Moscow principality - the worst of the legacies of Alexander Nevsky, compared with Vladimir, Pereyaslavl, Suzdal and other fatherlands. But the boy, the prince, remained satisfied with this lot, not asking for more.
Already in 1272, he founded the Krutitsky monastery with a temple in the name of the apostles Peter and Paul. Then the noble prince built a temple on the banks of the Moscow River in the name of his patron, the Monk Daniel the Stylite, and a monastery with him. The Moscow principality was small and unenviable in those days.
The matured noble prince Daniel strengthened and increased him, but not through untruth and violence, but through mercy and peace.
From a poor village on the banks of the Moscow River, the capital of Moscow grew; During his lifetime, the meager Moscow inheritance of the saint of God Daniel became the Grand Duchy of Moscow, and he himself became the first Grand Duke of Moscow.
Prince Daniil of Moscow. A.M. Vasnetsov (1864-1933)
There was trouble in Rus'. In those days when Rus' was defeated and enslaved by the Tatars, it was also torn apart by princely civil strife. And often, thanks to the blessed Prince Daniel, his tireless desire for unity and peace on Russian soil, bloodshed was prevented.
Daniel was a great peacemaker, but out of necessity, he valiantly defended his principality.
In 1283, his older brothers Andrei and Dimitri grabbed the right to reign in the Vladimir land. Things came to a head: the brothers’ troops converged near the city of Dmitrov. Prince Daniel hurried with his army to the camp of his brother Andrei, and Prince Dimitri, feeling the strength, agreed to make peace.
Unfortunately, Andrei forgot this lesson and in 1293 he treacherously led hordes of Tatars, led by Duden (“Dudenev’s Army”), who plundered and devastated many Russian cities: Murom, Suzdal, Kolomna, Dmitrov, Mozhaisk, Tver. Then the holy prince decided to let them into Moscow in order to save the people from death. There was no strength to fight back. Daniel did not abandon his people during this difficult time. Together with his people, the prince experienced the hardships of ruin and robbery. And when the enemies left the city, leaving behind ashes, Daniel distributed his personal property to the affected citizens.
Prince Andrei, supported by the Tatars, began to rule in Vladimir. Soon, quarrels flared up again between the princes. Prince Andrey went with his army to Pereyaslavl-Zalessky. Defending his rights, Saint Daniel was forced in 1296.
set out with a strong army in alliance with his uncle, Prince Mikhail of Tver, against his brother near a place called Yuryevo Tolchische, but here, too, the desire for peace won, and bloodshed was avoided. He did not take revenge on his brother, who so villainously betrayed the Christians to the Tatar Khan in 1293, and complacently forgave him for his evil deed.
Such unfailing love of mankind and good nature of Daniel softened the heart of his anxious brother Andrei, so that he not only made peace with him, but also transferred to him in 1296 his power and the title of Grand Duke.
In 1301, a congress of all Russian princes met in the city of Dmitrov. The grandson of Alexander Nevsky, the son of his elder brother Dimitri, the nephew of Daniil, Prince Pereyaslavsky and Dmitrovsky, Ivan received powerful neighbors in Dmitrov - princes Andrei Vladimirsky, Mikhail Tversky and Daniil of Moscow. At this meeting, Saint Daniel convinced everyone to make peace and stop all civil strife.
And his nephew, Prince of Pereyaslavl-Zalessky, Ivan Dimitrievich loved his uncle Daniil so much that he not only did not challenge him for the title of Grand Duke, but also bequeathed his fatherland - the Pereyaslavl region - one of the strongest principalities at that time - in 1302, dying childless. into the property of his beloved uncle Daniil Alexandrovich.
The Pereyaslavl land, together with Dmitrov, was the first after Rostov both in the number of inhabitants and in the fortress of the main city. Pereyaslavl-Zalessky was well protected on all sides. The holy prince remained faithful to Moscow and did not move the capital of the principality to Pereyaslavl, which was stronger and more significant at that time. This annexation made the Moscow principality one of the most significant.
This was the beginning of the unification of the Russian land into a single powerful state.
Principality of Moscow under Daniil of Moscow
In 1301, when the Ryazan prince Konstantin Romanovich, calling on the Tatars for help, was making secret preparations for a surprise attack on the lands of the Moscow principality, the Monk Daniel went with an army against the Ryazan prince, defeated the enemy, took Constantine prisoner and exterminated many Tatars.
This was the first victory over the Tatars, a quiet victory, but wonderful - like the first impulse towards freedom. Having defeated the Ryazan prince and scattered his allies - the Tatars, the noble prince Daniel did not take advantage of the victory to take away foreign lands or take rich booty, as was customary in those days, but showed an example of true non-covetousness, love and brotherly love.
The holy prince never took up arms to seize foreign lands, he never took away property from other princes either by violence or deceit. The Moscow prince showed mercy to his captive: Constantine lived in Moscow as a guest, treats were sent to him from the princely table, and honors were given according to his title.
The victory over the Ryazan prince once again showed the Russian people the mercy and selflessness of Daniil of Moscow.
In 1303, Saint Daniel became seriously ill. Following the example of his father, Saint Alexander Nevsky, he accepted the great schema and commanded to be buried in the monastery he founded in honor of the Venerable Daniel the Stylite, which later became known as the Moscow St. Daniel Monastery. Out of deep humility, he wanted to be buried not in the church, but in the brotherly monastery cemetery.
The noble prince died on March 4, 1303 , at the age of 42.
After his death, the successors to the grand-ducal power and title were not his brother or nephew, but his son John Daniilovich, and after him this dignity passed from one to another, from father to son, in a straight line, until the death of Tsar Theodore Ioannovich in 1598 - in for 300 years. The reigning blessed House of Romanov is not completely alien to the family of Saint Daniel, having as relatives the wife of Tsar Ivan Vasilyevich the Terrible, Anastasia Romanovna; Thus, in the blessed family of the Holy and Blessed Daniel, royal dignity has been preserved for more than 600 years.

- The honorable relics of Saint Prince Daniel were hidden for almost 350 years.
In 1652, Tsar Alexy Mikhailovich (1645-1676), at the order of the blessed Prince Daniel, who appeared to him, performed the solemn opening of the saint’s relics.
On August 30, Patriarch Nikon with a council of bishops and Tsar Alexy Mikhailovich with his courtiers opened the grave of the noble prince and found the honorable relics incorrupt. At the same time, many miraculous healings occurred among a large population.
The holy relics were solemnly transferred to the monastery church in honor of the holy fathers of the Seven Ecumenical Councils and placed in a specially prepared wooden tomb opposite the right choir.
At the same time, the blessed Prince Daniel was canonized and a church-wide celebration was established for him March 4/17 - the day of his blessed death and August 30 / September 12 - the day of the discovery of incorruptible relics.
The holy relics of the saint of God Daniel, from the time of their transfer to the church, openly rest in a special shrine. (In a special golden reliquary on the chest of St. Daniel rests a particle of the holy relics of his father, the holy noble Grand Duke Alexander Nevsky).
