A controversial monument commemorating John Paul II, funded on the 4th anniversary of the Pope's death by the Śródmieście district council. Controversy is caused by both its location (right next to the Pawiak Museum) and its "egg" shape. Following press releases, questions arose as to whether the monument had anything to do with Easter ;-). The author of the monument (Marek Moderau) strongly denied it, explaining that the snowy whiteness refers to the Pope's robes, and the shape to erratic boulders that were often converted into monuments.

The monument with the date of John Paul II's death on Jana Pawła II Avenue in Warsaw is a memorial stone placed in Warsaw's Śródmieście district at the intersection of Jana Pawła II Avenue and Dzielna Street. It commemorates the date and hour of the Polish Pope's death – April 2, 2005, at 9:37 PM – carved into a marble boulder, symbolically commemorating his death and his significance for contemporary Poland. The monument was unveiled in 2009 at the initiative of the Śródmieście District.
