book about ancient greek religion and the priests and priestesses?
I want to know not just about the gods and goddesses but the practices such as holidays, festivals, the temples, etc.

Look into the books listed in the Wiki References:

Jack Finegan, Myth and Mystery: An Introduction to the Pagan Religions of the Biblical World, 1989. ISBN 0-8010-2160-X
Martin P. Nilsson, Greek Popular Religion, 1940. and History of Greek Religion, 1949.

Also – do you have a local college or university?? Go and look for a Classics class syllabus and buy the required books or check them out of the library. Often the school’s library will have copies on reserve for in-library reading as some students can not afford to purchase all of their books.
