Archbishop
Saint Serbian Archbishop Daniel lived during the most glorious time of ancient Serbia. He was tonsured into monasticism at the Končul Monastery of Saint Nicholas, where he diligently fulfilled his monastic vows. Called by Archbishop Eustathius II, he was ordained as a hieromonk and became the abbot of the Hilandar Monastery. Daniel proved himself as a defender of the monastery against robbers, and after peace was restored, he retained the abbacy and withdrew to Karyes. Later, he became the Bishop of Holm, and then the Archbishop of all Serbian and coastal lands. He worked hard on the organization and beautification of churches, building and restoring temples in Serbia. His time of leadership was the best time of flourishing for the Serbian Church.
