Life
Donatian, Praesidius, Mansuetus, Germanus, Fusculus and Laetus are confessors of the right faith from North Africa in the fifth century. They were driven into exile by Huneric, the Arian king of the Vandals. At that time the number of exiles reached nearly five thousand in a single year. They are saints of the undivided Church, venerated in the West.
Their commemoration falls on 6 September (new calendar); the Churches on the Old Calendar keep the same day of the Menaion on 19 September of the civil calendar.
