Ottoman use of the title "Servant of the Two Holy Sanctuaries" ends
The title "Servant of the Two Holy Sanctuaries" borne by the Ottoman sultans stayed in use alongside the title of caliph even after Mecca and Medina left Ottoman rule; Abdulmecid Efendi, elected caliph in 1922, was also addressed with it. The title came to an end when the caliphate was abolished on 3 March 1924.
