It is to take effect at 06:00 (Myanmar Standard Time) Saturday.
According to the government, the cease fire came parliament unanimously passed a resolution.
However, on Thursday, China had all but ordered Myanmar to stop the fighting.
The fighting began in June of 2011 and has become quite heavy since December 2012.
Rebel forces have not decided whether or not they will honor the cease fire, as they did not agree to it.
They are distrustful of it, saying that the government will break it whenever they are ready.
