I inherited this nativity scene picture and do not understand it. An unknown woman is holding baby Jesus. Why is that?

I'm not sure that is the nativity scene. There is not manger, no Wisemen, no animals, etc.

The baby is Mary. The icon is of the Blessed Virgin Mary’s nativity.

Today a local Priest started a St Anne Novena and read a little about the history of St. Joachim and St. Anne.
