Danilov Monastery (also Svyato-Danilov Monastery or Holy Danilov Monastery; Russian: Данилов монастырь, Свято-Данилов монастырь, romanized: Danilov monastyr', Svyato-Danilov monastyr') is a walled monastery on the right bank of the Moskva River in Moscow. Since 1983, it has functioned as the headquarters of the Russian Orthodox church and the official residence of the Patriarch of Moscow and all Rus'. Danilov Monastery is claimed to have been founded in the late 13th century by Alexander Nevsky's son Daniel. Shortly before his death in 1303, Daniel is supposed to have taken monastic vows and been buried there. The Russian Orthodox church venerates him as a saint. Daniel's successors had this monastery relocated to the Kremlin. All that remained at the original location was a graveyard. More information...
