St. Aloysius Gonzaga vs. St. Gerard Majella

[seeker63]

I’ve seen images of these saints that look fairly similar. Both are usually adoring a Cross they are holding in their hands. So how do you tell which one is which? I have a Rosary with a medal of one of them on it.

Well, I don’t know if you can see this from the medal…but St. Aloysius is often usually wearing a surplice, whereas Gerard never is because he was not ordained, but was a Redemptorist lay-brother.

Perhaps we could settle it with a cage match.
