Lily

Most of what people remember about her sounds almost too perfect: “Lily of the Mohawks,” the first Native American canonised in 2012, and the scars that witnesses said faded from her face just minutes after she died at twenty-four.

St. Aloysius Gonzaga is commonly depicted as a pale young man holding a lily and a crucifix, with downcast eyes, who died at the age of twenty-three. He is frequently remembered as the patron of "purity," respected yet often overlooked. However, Aloysius was a far more complex figure.
