They venerate Daniel and the three youths: the martyrs Misael, Azariah and Ananias.

Six hundred years before the birth of Christ, Jerusalem was conquered by the king of Babylon. Many people were taken captive, and the temple that Solomon built was destroyed. Among the captives were the youths Mishael, Daniel, Azariah, and Ananias. The Babylonian king gave the order to bring them up at court in luxury and teach them the wisdom of the Chaldeans. However, in an effort to preserve the commandments of faith, they led a strict lifestyle. They only ate vegetables and water. God endowed them with wisdom, and Daniel had the gift of clairvoyance and could interpret dreams. Trusting in the Lord and in his help, he surpassed in his wisdom the magicians and astrologers of the Chaldeans and was especially close to the king. Once he had a dream that the Babylonian sages could not interpret. Daniel showed the power of the true God and explained that he meant sleep. After that, the king elevated him to the rank of chief of Babylon. Soon the king decided to erect a huge statue depicting him, so that everyone would give her divine honors. The youths Misael, Azariah and Ananias refused to do this, for which they were thrown into the furnace. However, the flame, rising above the furnace, scorched the Chaldeans, and the youths remained unharmed. An angel appeared and cooled the flame. Under King Belshazzar, during a feast, she appeared on the wall of the palace, which the saint interpreted. It spoke of the fall of the Babylonian kingdom. At the slander of his enemies, Saint Daniel was thrown into a den with hungry lions, but the animals did not touch him.
