Postcard
The Old Protestant Cemetery located close to the Casa Garden, was established by the British East India Company in 1821 in Macau in response to a lack of burial sites for Protestants in the Roman Catholic Portuguese colony. (wikipedia)
Stamp
Macau was a Portuguese colony and both the first and last European colony in China. That explains the Portuguese words on the stamps.

A small but very interesting cemetery. In particular the sailors and mariners buried here instead of at sea.
