<P> The New Testament makes one reference to Daniel at Matthew 24 : 15 , which asserts that Jesus recognised Daniel as a prophet of God . He is commemorated in the Coptic Church on the 23rd day of the Coptic month of Baramhat . On the Eastern Orthodox liturgical calendar , the feast days celebrating St. Daniel the Prophet together with the Three Young Men , falls on December 17 ( during the Nativity Fast ) , on the Sunday of the Holy Forefathers ( the Sunday which falls between 11 and 17 December ) , and on the Sunday before Nativity . Daniel 's prophecy regarding the stone which smashed the idol ( Daniel 2 : 34 -- 35 ) is often used in Orthodox hymns as a metaphor for the Incarnation : the `` stone cut out '' being symbolic of the Logos ( Christ ) , and the fact that it was cut `` without hands '' being symbolic of the virgin birth . Thus the hymns will refer to the Theotokos ( Virgin Mary ) as the `` uncut mountain '' </P>
