אילו הן אידיהן של עכו"ם קלנדס וסטרנלייא וקרטסי' ויום גינוסיא של מלכים ויום הלידה ויום המיתה דברי ר"מ וחכמים אומרים כל מיתה שיש בה שריפה יש בה ע"ז ושאין בה שריפה אין בה ע"ז:

Tosefta Avodah Zarah

The cow that is fattened on idolatrous lentils or went down into a garden fertilized with idolatrous manure, it should be left fallow. A garden that one plowed with pieces of an asherah, it must be left fallow. Q’la ilan wool which has been stamped with pieces of an asherah should be burnt. Others say, it is subject to a legal stringency until it returns to its original appearance. Fifes that belong to idolatry, it is prohibited to lament with them. If he rented them for money from the state, even though they were made for the use of idolatry, it is permitted to lament with them. Shops belonging to idolatry, it is permitted to rent from them. Idolatrous charity collectors, it is forbidden to give to them. If they were hired for money, even if they were used for the benefit of idolatry, it is permitted to give to them. One who designates his house for idolatry, the whole of it imparts impurity upon entry, and the one who passes within it is like one who passes within a house of idolatry. If a public thoroughfare cut through it, it confers impurity on that path alone.
