Who they were
At Caesarea in Palestine, the passion of the holy martyrs Antoninus, Nicephorus, Zebinas, Germanus and Manatha, virgin. She, after suffering scourging, was then put to the fire under the emperor Galerius Maximinus; the others were beheaded for having accused the governor Firmilian of impiety with courage and frankness, because he was sacrificing to the gods.
The miracles
There was never a formal cause: she has been honoured as a saint since before the Church's formal processes began.
Why that counted as sanctity
The Roman Martyrology remembers her on 13 November as a virgin at Caesarea in Palestine who was scourged and then put to the fire under the emperor Galerius Maximinus.
