[MR] new vs. old

[BARY SEARS]

Can anyone tell me of primary sources (written) that discuss the practice of the early Catholic church taking over sites and ceremonies of earlier religions?  For instance, former deities became saints; churches were planted on sacred groves; former religious holidays taken over by the new church; etc.

thanks much!
