History
editAlongside the wooden church in the village, up until the 1796 there was a Serbian Orthodox monastery close to the village, in Mali Antin, as well.[2] The new church in Markušica inherited 1777 iconostasis from the wooden church.[2] During the World War II in Yugoslavia and Genocide of Serbs in the Independent State of Croatia the church was converted into the Roman Catholic one.[2] The most recent icon on the wall were painted in 1989 by Belgrade artist Zoran Đorđević.[2] The church was damaged during the Croatian War of Independence in 1991 when the village of Markušica was a part of the self-proclaimed Eastern Slavonia, Baranja and Western Syrmia.[2] The general restoration works took place after the war in the 1999-2002 period.[2]
