Usage Note
Semejanza denotes likeness between two things or people. The common preposition phrase a semejanza de means 'in the likeness of' or 'similar to', echoing the biblical a imagen y semejanza (in the image and likeness). Contrast with similitud (more technical/scientific) and parecido (informal).
Examples
"Hay una gran semejanza entre los dos hermanos."
Natural Translation
There is a great resemblance between the two brothers.
