Inocencio IV

Inocencio IV was a pope of the Roman Catholic Church who served from 1243 to 1254. Born as Sinibaldo Fieschi in Genoa, Italy, he was a prominent figure in the establishment of the Order of the Servants of Mary (Servites), which was approved during his papacy. He played a significant role in the propagation of the devotion to the Virgin Mary of Sorrows, influencing the liturgical calendar and the recognition of her sorrows through the feast of the Seven Sorrows of Mary.
