The Holy Prince Daniel of Moscow, who was the son of Saint Alexander Nevsky (November 23 & August 30), went to the Lord on March 4,1303. On August 30, 1652 his relics were uncovered and found to be incorrupt. Later, they were transferred to the church dedicated to the Holy Fathers of the Seventh Ecumenical Council. Now they rest in the Danilov Monastery in Moscow. Many of the faithful are healed of their infirmities when they pray at his shrine.
