Tekst na spomeniku:

Inscription on a plaque located at the entrance to the church, on the facade:

How many times
did death howl in frenzy here
with killers drunk on hate
bellowing for Serb blood?

Sworn enemies of the Serb people
drew their swords
and the blood of martyrs flowed

while the flames of a March night dwindled
and the black morning of Sijekovac dawned.
